Delray Beach patients work with one board-certified bariatric surgeon, Dr. Reza Keshavarzi, from the first visit through a full year of follow-up that is included in our gastric sleeve package.
BeforeAfterEach photo is a patient Dr. K treated, before on the left and after on the right. Results differ from person to person and depend on the procedure and the habits that follow it.
Bariatric surgery reduces how much the stomach holds, so smaller meals satisfy you and hunger becomes easier to manage.
The gastric sleeve removes most of the stomach and leaves a narrow tube. Gastric bypass creates a small pouch and connects it further along the small intestine. Dr. K performs both laparoscopically through a few small incisions. For patients who prefer no incisions, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and the ORBERA gastric balloon work from inside the stomach.
Many Delray Beach patients arrive having tried diets, programs or weight loss injections. Dr. K treats surgery as one tool among several and often pairs it with nutrition coaching or medical weight loss, so your plan is built around your body and goals.
Because one surgeon offers every option below, your recommendation follows your health and goals rather than the menu of a single program.
| Option | Approach | What it does | Often a fit for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic | Removes about three quarters of the stomach, leaving a slim sleeve that fills quickly. | Adults whose weight is affecting their health and daily life |
| Low BMI "Mini Sleeve" | Laparoscopic | A sleeve planned for patients with a BMI of 25 to 30. | Patients with a lower BMI whose weight still causes health problems |
| Teen Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic | The sleeve procedure, planned together with the teen and their parents. | Adolescents ages 14 to 17 |
| Gastric Bypass | Laparoscopic | A small stomach pouch is joined to a lower part of the small intestine. | Patients living with type 2 diabetes or severe reflux |
| Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty | No incisions | Stitches placed through an endoscope fold the stomach into a smaller shape. | Patients who want a smaller stomach without incisions |
| ORBERA Gastric Balloon | No incisions | A soft balloon fills part of the stomach for a set period, then is removed. | Patients looking for a temporary first step |
| Medical Weight Loss | Nonsurgical | A personalized plan from our weight loss specialists that can include weight loss injections. | Patients not ready for a procedure, or wanting support after one |
No single number decides it. Dr. K looks at your weight together with your health conditions, what you have already tried and the life you want to lead.
Dr. Keshavarzi, called Dr. K by his patients, brings decades of experience in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. After his surgical residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital, he completed a fellowship in laparoscopic, bariatric and robotic surgery at Jackson South Medical Center.
Your consultation, your operation and your follow-up are all with him. Patients who live farther away, as Delray Beach patients do, value that he shares his own cell phone number so questions reach him directly after surgery.
Your visits with Dr. K take place at our South Miami office. Several steps in between can be handled closer to Delray Beach, which keeps the drive down I-95 to a few planned trips.
Dr. K reviews your weight history, health conditions and goals, then explains which option fits and what the year ahead looks like.
Medical clearances are required. You can complete them at our clinic or at a facility near Delray Beach, and your surgery date is set as they are finished.
An EGD is required before surgery. Dr. K can perform it, or a recent one from another facility can be used.
A pre-surgery diet prepares your body for the operation, and our team guides you through it. Weight loss injections stop at least two weeks before surgery.
Dr. K performs your procedure in the hospital. Most patients return to work within 4 to 7 days and avoid lifting more than 20 lbs until cleared.
Follow-up visits track your progress as you move back to regular food. With the sleeve package, every first-year visit is included.
"I am just over 1 week post op from a hiatal hernia repair and gastric sleeve surgery and my surgery went better than great."
"Dr. Keshavarzi explained every detail of the surgery from getting prepared, to the actual day of surgery, and beyond."
"Dr. Keshavarzi was with us throughout the whole process and was even contacting us once home to see if everything was running smoothly."
We publish our gastric sleeve price, and Delray Beach patients pay the same package price as every patient we treat.
Plans run up to 24 months at 0% interest, with monthly payments as low as $320. Debit and credit cards are accepted for any remaining balance.
When Dr. K performs your EGD, the procedure itself is part of your overall cost and only a $750 hospital fee applies.
Pricing for gastric bypass, ESG, the gastric balloon and medical weight loss is reviewed at your consultation, along with any insurance questions. See financing details.
Our office is at 7330 SW 62nd Pl, Suite 210, in South Miami, about 55 miles south of Delray Beach by I-95 or Florida's Turnpike. Required clearances and tests can be done at a facility near home, so most of your trips south are for your consultation, surgery and follow-up visits.
For many people whose weight affects their health, surgery can bring lasting weight loss that diets and medication alone did not. Results depend on the procedure and the habits built afterward, which is why a year of follow-up with Dr. K is part of the plan. Several patients in our Google reviews say they only wish they had done it sooner.
Coverage depends on your specific plan, its requirements and any exclusions, so there is no single answer for every policy. Our gastric sleeve package has a published price and can be financed through Cherry, and our team goes through your insurance questions with you at your consultation.
Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000 and covers the hospital stay, the surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and your follow-up appointments for the first year. Cherry financing offers 24 months at 0% interest, with monthly payments as low as $320. Pricing for the other procedures is reviewed at your consultation.
Yes. Dr. K offers a low BMI Mini Sleeve for patients with a BMI of 25 to 30 whose weight still affects their health. Nonsurgical options such as the ORBERA gastric balloon and medical weight loss are also available, and he will tell you which one fits.
It depends on your weight, your health and how you have responded to medication before. Dr. K offers weight loss injections, medical weight loss and surgery, and can combine them in one plan. If you move on to surgery, injections must be stopped at least two weeks before the operation.
Most patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. You cannot lift more than 20 lbs until Dr. K clears you, so plan help with heavier tasks at home and at work for the first weeks.
