BeforeAfterRapid-fire questions about bariatric surgery, answered by Dr. K.
Bariatric surgery changes the size or function of the stomach so you feel full on far smaller portions. The gastric sleeve, the procedure Dr. K specializes in, is performed laparoscopically and leaves a narrow sleeve-shaped stomach. Smaller meals and less hunger make steady weight loss possible when paired with the nutrition plan our team builds for you.
For patients in Moore Haven, Lakeport, Buckhead Ridge, Palmdale and the rest of Glades County, care is centered at our South Miami office. We plan around that distance. Your first conversation with Dr. K can be virtual, required tests can be done at a facility closer to home, and Dr. K contacts patients from his own cell phone once they are back home.
Weight loss surgery is a medical decision built on your full health history, not one number on a scale. Bariatric surgery is worth discussing with Dr. K if any of these describe you.
We offer surgical and nonsurgical options under one roof, and Dr. K recommends one only after reviewing your health, your history and your goals.
Our core procedure. A laparoscopic operation that reduces the stomach to a slim sleeve to limit portion size and hunger. An expedited gastric sleeve path is available for patients who complete their pre-surgery testing quickly.
A sleeve option for patients with a lower BMI who still struggle with their weight and related health concerns.
A gastric sleeve program for adolescents ages 14 to 17, planned together with the family.
Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine to change how food is absorbed.
ESG uses internal sutures placed through the mouth to reduce stomach volume, with no external incisions.
A temporary balloon placed in the stomach endoscopically to help you feel full sooner.
Personalized plans created by our weight loss specialists, including weight loss injections when they suit you.
Dr. K on staying active and finding the right path, from medical weight loss to the gastric sleeve.
Each step is planned so you spend as little time on the road as possible.
Dr. K conducts every consultation himself. He reviews your health history and past weight loss attempts, recommends the procedure that fits, and you leave knowing your plan and its cost.
Surgery requires medical clearances and an upper endoscopy, or EGD. You can complete them at a facility near home or with us, and Dr. K can perform the EGD himself.
You follow a pre-surgery diet, and our team supports you throughout the preparation process. Dr. K adjusts any weight loss medication you use ahead of your date.
Once your tests are complete, surgery dates are often available within the current month. Your hospital stay is part of the gastric sleeve package.
Most patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. Avoid lifting more than 20 pounds while you heal.
Follow-up appointments for the first year are included in the gastric sleeve package, and our staff guides you through each stage of your post-surgery diet.

Answers to what patients outside Miami ask us most often.
No. Your first consultation can be virtual, and the required medical clearances and EGD can be completed at a facility closer to home. You come to South Miami for surgery and for the in-person checks Dr. K needs during your recovery.
Surgery dates are often available within the current month. Your real timeline depends on how fast you complete your medical clearances and EGD. Our recommended doctor returns test results within 48 hours, which shortens the wait for many patients.
Yes. An EGD is required before surgery, and one performed within the last five months is accepted. If Dr. K performs it, the procedure itself is included in your surgery cost and a $750 hospital fee applies.
Weight loss injections must be stopped at least two weeks before surgery. Tell Dr. K about every medication you use at your consultation so he can plan the timing with you.
That depends on your weight, your health conditions, what you have already tried and your goals. Because Dr. K performs the gastric sleeve, the low BMI Mini Sleeve, gastric bypass, ESG and the ORBERA balloon and oversees medical weight loss, his recommendation is not limited to one procedure.
Yes. Dr. K contacts patients from his own cell phone, and our team answers questions by text after your visits. Many reviews mention reaching him by phone or text during recovery.
Book a consultation to talk through your options, your timeline and your cost with the surgeon who will perform your procedure.
