Individual results vary.
Bariatric surgery changes the size or path of the stomach so you feel full on far less food, supporting lasting weight loss and better control of weight-related conditions. Our office is in South Miami, and patients from Alafaya travel to us for their procedure.
Dr. K performs or oversees every option below, so your plan is built around your body rather than a single operation.
Most of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving a narrow sleeve.
A low BMI gastric sleeve for patients with less excess weight to lose.
A gastric sleeve for adolescents aged 14 to 17, planned around a body that is still growing.
A small stomach pouch is joined to the small intestine, limiting intake and absorption.
Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty stitches the stomach smaller from the inside, with no abdominal incisions.
A temporary gastric balloon or a supervised medication plan when surgery is not the right step.
Candidacy is decided at your consultation, after Dr. K reviews your health history and goals. Patients who are often a good fit include:
Much of your preparation can happen close to home, so the trip to South Miami is about surgery and the visits around it.
He reviews your history and explains which procedure fits you.
Medical clearances and an endoscopy are required, and both can be done near home.
You follow a pre-surgery diet, and any weight loss injections stop at least 2 weeks before surgery.
Your procedure takes place with Dr. K, who stays in touch by phone once you are home.
Most patients return to work in 4 to 7 days, with no lifting over 20 lbs. First-year follow-ups are in the package.
