Sleeve, bypass, endoscopic and balloon procedures from one board-certified, fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon, with a gastric sleeve package that includes your first year of follow-up.
Every photo below is one of our own patients, treated by Dr. Reza Keshavarzi and followed through recovery by our team.
Results depend on the procedure, your starting point and the habits you build afterward. That is why each plan starts with a full review of your health and goals, and why follow-up visits continue long after surgery day.

The confidence that comes with feeling comfortable in your own skin: a few of our patients' transformations.
Knowing when to use the right treatment, or the right combination of treatments, for lasting results.
Bariatric surgery changes the size or route of the stomach so you feel full on far smaller portions, and in many cases it lowers the hunger signals that make diets so hard to sustain.
Most procedures we perform are minimally invasive, done through small incisions with a camera, or endoscopically through the mouth with no incisions at all. Surgery is a tool, not a finish line. Lasting weight loss comes from pairing it with a nutrition plan, regular follow-up and a team that stays involved.
Dr. Keshavarzi performs every surgical and endoscopic option on this page and also oversees medical weight loss, including GLP-1 medications. Because no single procedure is the default, your recommendation is based on your health history and goals, and some patients do best with medication and surgery used together.
From a nonsurgical balloon to gastric bypass, every option is performed or overseen by the same surgeon.
| Procedure | How it works | Often a fit for |
|---|---|---|
| Gastric Sleeve | About 75 to 80% of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving a narrow sleeve that holds less food and produces less hunger hormone. | Adults with significant weight to lose who want a single, lasting procedure. An expedited path is available. |
| Low BMI Gastric Sleeve | Our "Mini Sleeve" applies the sleeve technique for patients with less weight to lose. | People who fall below standard surgical criteria but still struggle with weight and related health concerns. |
| Teen Gastric Sleeve | A sleeve gastrectomy planned around a growing patient, with close nutrition and family support. | Adolescents with severe obesity when supervised diet and exercise have not worked. |
| Gastric Bypass | A small stomach pouch is connected directly to the small intestine, limiting both intake and absorption. | Patients with severe reflux, type 2 diabetes or more weight to lose. |
| Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) | Sutures placed through an endoscope fold the stomach into a smaller shape, with no external incisions. | Patients who want meaningful restriction without surgery on the outside of the body. |
| ORBERA Gastric Balloon | A soft silicone balloon is placed in the stomach endoscopically and filled, then removed later. | Patients who want a temporary, nonsurgical start to their weight loss. |
| Medical Weight Loss | A physician-supervised plan that can include GLP-1 injections, nutrition coaching and regular check-ins. | Patients not ready for a procedure, or those who want support before or after surgery. |
Bariatric surgery is for people whose weight is affecting their health, mobility or quality of life and who have not reached a lasting result with diet, exercise or medication alone.
Candidacy depends on more than a number on the scale. During your consultation, Dr. K reviews your medical history, current medications and goals, then explains which options fit you and which do not.

★★★★★"My husband and I had surgery two years ago and it's the best decision we have ever made. Dr. Keshavarzi was with us throughout the whole process and was even contacting us once home to see if everything was running smoothly."

★★★★★"I am just over 1 week post op from a hiatal hernia repair and gastric sleeve surgery and my surgery went better than great. He has been there the whole process, provided his cell phone to make sure he could be reached at all hours."

We publish our gastric sleeve price so you can plan with real numbers rather than estimates.
The gastric sleeve package is all-inclusive for the items listed, and if Dr. K performs your pre-op endoscopy, the procedure itself is included in the overall cost, with a separate hospital fee. Pricing for gastric bypass, ESG, the gastric balloon and medical weight loss depends on your plan and is reviewed at your consultation.
Financing is available through Cherry, and debit and credit cards are accepted for the remaining balance. See financing details.
One price for surgery and your first year of care
Most of our gastric sleeve patients return to work 4 to 7 days after the procedure. You should avoid lifting more than 20 pounds while you heal, and you follow a staged diet as your stomach recovers. Dr. K gives you a recovery plan matched to the procedure you had.
Yes, many patients come to us after using GLP-1 medication. Injections must be stopped at least 2 weeks before surgery. Dr. K can also explain when medication alone, surgery alone or a combination makes sense for you.
Yes. An upper endoscopy, called an EGD, is part of preparing for surgery along with medical clearances. Dr. K can perform the EGD himself, with its cost included in the procedure price apart from a hospital fee, or you can have it done elsewhere. A recent EGD from within the last 5 months is accepted.
Surgery dates are often available within the same month. How quickly you reach the operating room depends mainly on how fast your required tests and clearances are completed. Our team helps you through each step, and we also offer an expedited gastric sleeve path.
Our gastric sleeve package is $14,000. It includes the hospital stay, the surgeon's fee, all hospital-related fees and your follow-up appointments for the first year after surgery. Financing through Cherry is available, including 24 months at 0% interest.
That depends on your health history, your goals and how much weight you want to lose. Dr. K performs the gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, ESG and ORBERA gastric balloon and also oversees medical weight loss, so your recommendation is not limited to one procedure. Your consultation ends with a clear plan.
Yes. Patients come to our South Miami office from Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Kendall and across Miami-Dade. Required tests can be done at our clinic or at an outside facility, which makes preparation easier if you live farther away.
