Bariatric surgery makes the stomach smaller, and a bypass also reroutes digestion, so you feel full sooner and eat less. For Key West patients, Dr. Keshavarzi plans with you at a distance and operates in Miami, about 155 miles up the Overseas Highway.
He performs the gastric sleeve and gastric bypass along with nonsurgical procedures. Our travelling patients guide covers the trip itself.
Seven options, from surgery to plans with no incisions.

Dr. Keshavarzi is a Diplomate of the American Board of Surgery. He completed his surgical residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital and a fellowship in Laparoscopic, Bariatric and Robotic Surgery at Jackson South Medical Center.
Patients know him as Dr. K. He holds every consultation himself and stays in touch from his own cell phone, which matters when you recover 155 miles away.

Finance surgery through Cherry with 24 months at 0% interest or monthly payments as low as $320.
Financing OptionsYes, surgery takes place in Miami, about 155 miles up the Overseas Highway. Your first conversation with Dr. K can be by phone and your clearances can be done near home, so the planning happens before the drive.
It depends on how quickly your tests and clearances are finished. Once they are, dates are often available within the current month.
Most patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. Lifting over 20 lbs is off limits while you heal, so plan help with heavy work, boat lines or dive gear.
Yes. Injections must be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery, and Dr. K will go over the timing with you once your date is set.
Yes. Our low BMI gastric sleeve, the Mini Sleeve, is for patients with a BMI of 25 to 30, and Dr. K will tell you at your consultation if it fits.
