One board-certified surgeon, Dr. Reza Keshavarzi, performs every procedure himself, and Boynton Beach patients can finish most pre-op testing close to home before making the drive south.
BeforeAfterEvery pair below is a patient of Dr. K, photographed before surgery and again after. Individual results vary.
Bariatric surgery makes the stomach smaller, or changes the path food takes through it, so you feel full on less and hunger stops running the day. Dr. K performs all six options below himself, so your recommendation starts from your health and goals rather than from a short menu.
Most of the stomach is removed through small laparoscopic incisions, leaving a slim sleeve that holds far less food. It is Dr. K's main specialty.
Explore the gastric sleeveA sleeve for patients with a lower BMI who have been told elsewhere that they are not heavy enough for surgery.
Explore the Mini SleeveA small stomach pouch is joined to the small intestine, which limits both how much you eat and how much you absorb.
Explore gastric bypassA sleeve program for adolescents aged 14 to 17, with guidance for the teen and for the family at home.
Explore teen surgeryEndoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and the ORBERA gastric balloon reduce stomach volume through the mouth, with no incisions.
Explore ESGA personalized plan, which can include GLP-1 medication, overseen by Dr. K for patients who are not ready for a procedure.
Explore medical weight lossSurgery is worth considering when years of dieting, exercise or medication have not kept the weight off. Dr. K decides candidacy with you after reviewing your health history, current medications and goals.
Being a candidate also means being ready to follow a pre-surgery diet, change how you eat afterward and keep your follow-up visits through the first year.
Dr. Keshavarzi, Dr. K to his patients, is our lead surgeon and has decades of experience in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. You meet with him at your consultation, he performs your procedure, and he stays reachable by phone and text while you recover at home in Boynton Beach.
You talk through your health, history and goals with Dr. K and leave with a recommended procedure, a price and your financing options.
Every patient needs medical clearances and an EGD, a short camera exam of the stomach. Our recommended doctor returns results in 48 hours, and an EGD done in the last five months still counts.
A pre-surgery diet gets your body ready for the operation. If you take weight loss injections, you stop them at least two weeks ahead.
Your date depends on how soon your testing is complete, and openings are often available within the current month.
Most patients are back at work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. Keep anything heavier than 20 pounds off-limits while you heal.
Your first year of follow-up visits is included in the sleeve package, and our staged diet plans guide what you eat at each phase.

We publish our sleeve package price so you can plan before your first visit. Other procedures are priced at your consultation.
$14,000
If Dr. K performs your EGD, the procedure is included in the overall cost and a $750 hospital fee applies.
Cherry can cover your surgery, and debit or credit cards are accepted for any remaining balance.
Our only office is in South Miami, a drive down I-95 or Florida's Turnpike from Boynton Beach. We arrange your preparation so that you make the trip when it matters.
Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000. It covers the hospital stay, the surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and follow-up visits for the first year after surgery. Cherry financing offers 24 months at 0% interest, with monthly payments as low as $320. Other procedures are priced at your consultation.
Coverage depends on your plan and its requirements, so there is no single answer for every Florida patient. Our team will go over your payment options with you, including our published sleeve package and Cherry financing, so you know your number before you commit.
Surgery is planned only after medical clearances and an upper endoscopy, and a finding that needs treatment first can delay or change the plan. Not being ready for the pre-surgery diet and the eating plan afterward is another reason to wait. Being told elsewhere that your BMI is too low does not always rule you out, because Dr. K performs a Low BMI Mini Sleeve.
It depends on your starting weight, your health and how closely you follow the post-op eating plan, so no timeline fits everyone. Weight usually comes off fastest in the first months after surgery and continues through the first year. Dr. K will give you a realistic expectation for your own case.
No. Required exams can be done at our clinic or at an outside facility closer to Boynton Beach, and an upper endoscopy from the last five months is accepted. Documents and next steps come by text message, so most trips south are for your consultation, surgery and key follow-up visits.
Surgery dates are often available within the current month. How fast you get a date depends on how quickly your required tests are completed, and our recommended doctor returns results within 48 hours.
Weight loss injections must be stopped at least two weeks before surgery. Tell us what you take at your consultation and we will plan your date around it. If surgery is not the right step yet, Dr. K also oversees medical weight loss.
