Every sleeve, bypass, ESG and balloon at Miami VIP Surgery is performed by one surgeon, Dr. Reza Keshavarzi, a short drive down the Palmetto from Fountainebleau.

BeforeAfter134 Pounds LostOne patient's story and the health changes that came with it.
Bariatric surgery changes the size or route of the stomach so you feel full on far less food. That shift supports lasting weight loss and often eases weight-related health problems.
Dr. K performs six procedures, so Fountainebleau patients compare every option with one surgeon.
| Procedure | Approach | How It Works | Often Considered For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic surgery | Removes most of the stomach and leaves a narrow sleeve, which limits portions and reduces hunger. | Adults with obesity who want a durable surgical option |
| Low BMI Mini Sleeve | Laparoscopic surgery | The same sleeve principle, planned for patients with less weight to lose. | Patients with a lower BMI who fall outside traditional criteria |
| Teen Gastric Sleeve | Laparoscopic surgery | A sleeve gastrectomy planned around an adolescent patient and family. | Teens aged 14 to 17 living with obesity |
| Gastric Bypass | Laparoscopic surgery | Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine. | Patients whose health history points to a bypass |
| Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty | Endoscopic, no incisions | Sutures placed from inside the stomach fold it into a smaller tube. | Patients who want a nonsurgical sleeve |
| ORBERA Gastric Balloon | Endoscopic, temporary | A soft balloon placed in the stomach takes up space for a set period, then comes out. | Patients who want a temporary first step |

It depends on your starting weight, your health and how closely you follow the post-op diet. Weight usually comes off fastest in the first months after a sleeve, then the pace slows. Dr. K gives you a realistic estimate for your own body at the consultation.
Approval timelines are set by each insurer and plan, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, so we cannot promise a timeframe. At the consultation we review your situation and explain our all-inclusive sleeve package and Cherry financing, so you can compare both paths.
Surgery dates are often available within the current month. How fast you reach the operating room depends on how quickly your required tests and medical clearances are completed, so starting them early is the surest way to an early date.
That decision is personal, and Dr. K's job is to help you make it with the full picture. He reviews surgical, endoscopic and medical options side by side, so you know which one fits your health and goals. Several of our Google reviews come from patients who say they wish they had done it sooner.
