A board-certified, fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon a drive down the Palmetto Expressway from Doral, with a published $14,000 gastric sleeve package that includes a full year of follow-up care.
BeforeAfterThese are patients Dr. Keshavarzi treated himself, photographed before their procedure and again after their weight loss.
How much you lose depends on the procedure, your starting point and the routine you keep afterward. That is why your care continues well past surgery day.

The doubts, the decision and the commitment: the part of a before and after that a photo cannot show.
GLP-1 medication, surgery or a combination: the plan is built around the patient, not the procedure.
Bariatric surgery makes the stomach smaller, or reroutes how food moves through it, so you feel satisfied on much smaller portions and often feel less hungry between meals.
Dr. K performs his surgical procedures laparoscopically, through small incisions. The endoscopic options are done through the mouth, with no incisions on the abdomen. Either way, the operation is the starting point: the nutrition plan and follow-up visits are what hold the result.
Because he also oversees medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications, his recommendation is not tied to one operation. Some patients do well with medication alone, some with surgery and some with both.
Patients from Doral can compare a nonsurgical balloon, endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery and GLP-1 medication with the same surgeon, then choose with all the options on the table.
| Option | Approach | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic | About three quarters of the stomach is removed, leaving a slim sleeve that holds less and sends fewer hunger signals. An expedited path is available. |
| Low BMI Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic | Our "Mini Sleeve" applies the sleeve technique for people with less weight to lose whose weight still affects their health. |
| Teen Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic | A sleeve gastrectomy for adolescents ages 14 to 17, planned with the family and supported by close follow-up. |
| Gastric Bypass | Laparoscopic | A small stomach pouch is connected directly to the small intestine, reducing both how much you eat and how much you absorb. |
| Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) | Endoscopic | Sutures placed through an endoscope fold the stomach into a narrower shape, without abdominal incisions. |
| ORBERA Gastric Balloon | Nonsurgical | A soft balloon is placed in the stomach endoscopically to help you feel full sooner, then removed later. |
| Medical Weight Loss | Medication | A physician-supervised program that can include GLP-1 injections, nutrition coaching and regular check-ins. |
Weight loss surgery is for people whose weight affects their health, mobility or everyday life, and who have not been able to keep it off with diet, exercise or medication alone.
The scale is only one part of the picture. Dr. K reviews your medical history, medications and goals, then tells you directly which options suit you and which do not.
Board-certified bariatric surgeon and our lead surgeon, known to patients as Dr. K.
Dr. K completed his surgical residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital and a fellowship in laparoscopic, bariatric and robotic surgery at Jackson South Medical Center. He performs every procedure in the table above and oversees our medical weight loss program, so one surgeon follows you from the first conversation through your one-year visit.
Dr. K keeps active himself and coaches patients to make movement part of daily life.
Our team guides you through each step, and much of the preparation can be done near home in Doral.
Dr. K reviews your history, goals and past attempts, then recommends a procedure or medical plan.
Medical clearances and an upper endoscopy, done at our clinic or at a facility closer to Doral.
A required pre-surgery diet. Weight loss injections stop at least 2 weeks before surgery.
Most patients are back at work in 4 to 7 days and avoid lifting more than 20 pounds while healing.
Visits through your first year track progress and move you through each diet stage.
The detail patients mention most is direct access to their surgeon, before and after surgery.

We publish our gastric sleeve price, so you can plan around a real number from the start.
The upper endoscopy required before surgery can be done elsewhere or by Dr. K. When he performs it, the procedure is included in your surgery cost and only a $750 hospital fee applies. Pricing for gastric bypass, ESG, the balloon and medical weight loss depends on your plan and is reviewed with you.
Financing is available through Cherry, and debit and credit cards are accepted for the remaining balance. See financing details.
Patient financing partnerSurgery and your first year of care, in one price
Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000. It covers the hospital stay, the surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and follow-up appointments for the first year after surgery. Pricing for gastric bypass, ESG, the gastric balloon and medical weight loss is set at your consultation, and financing is available through Cherry.
It depends on your health, your history with other approaches and your goals, which is why Dr. K reviews all three before recommending anything. For some patients a GLP-1 medication or a nonsurgical option is the better first step. Many of our patients who chose surgery say in their reviews that they wish they had done it sooner.
Having surgery close to home keeps your testing, your operation and a full year of follow-up visits with the same surgeon, a drive from Doral rather than a flight away. Patients often mention in their reviews that Dr. K stays reachable by phone and text before and after surgery. That continuity matters most in the first months, when your diet stages change and questions come up.
Surgery changes how much you can eat and how hungry you feel, and the habits you build in the first year carry your result forward. Your package includes follow-up visits for that first year, with diet plans to guide each stage. After that, medical weight loss and nutrition support remain available if you want extra help keeping your weight on track.
Coverage depends on your specific plan and its requirements, so there is no single answer. Our team can walk through your options at your consultation. For patients paying directly, we publish our gastric sleeve package price and offer financing, including 24 months at 0% interest.
Surgery dates are often available within the same month. Timing depends mostly on how quickly your medical clearances and endoscopy are completed, and our team helps you through each one. An expedited gastric sleeve path is also available.
Rapid-fire answers from Dr. K on the bariatric surgery questions patients ask most.
Our office on SW 62nd Place in South Miami is a straight drive south from Doral on the Palmetto Expressway. Come in for your consultation, meet Dr. K and leave with a clear recommendation, your next steps and your costs.
