Gastric Bypass is one of the most trusted weight loss procedures in the world. At Miami VIP Surgery, we elevate it with a personalized approach that blends advanced surgical technique, emotional support and a clear plan for long term success. This is not only a procedure. It is a turning point for patients who want a healthier body and a more confident life.
A life changing path for patients who need a powerful and proven solution
Gastric Bypass is a metabolic surgery that changes the way your stomach and small intestine handle food. The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to a lower section of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food you can comfortably eat and changes how your body absorbs calories and nutrients. The procedure also affects gut hormones that regulate hunger, fullness and blood sugar control.
For many patients, this combination leads not only to significant weight loss but also to improvements in diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol and other conditions that have been present for years.
Your first consultation with Dr Reza Keshavarzi is a detailed and personal conversation. He reviews your medical history, current medications, previous weight loss attempts and long term goals. He explains how Gastric Bypass works, what results are realistic for your specific case and which alternatives may also be appropriate. This is the moment to understand the procedure fully and to confirm that it aligns with your health needs and lifestyle. You also receive guidance on nutrition, activity and any tests needed before surgery.
Gastric Bypass is performed under general anesthesia using minimally invasive techniques. The goal is to create a smaller stomach pouch and reroute part of the small intestine to support long term weight loss and metabolic improvement
Dr Reza Keshavarzi forms a small stomach pouch that holds much less food than the original stomach. This new pouch becomes the functional stomach and helps patients feel full with smaller portions.

Dr Keshavarzi secures the new connections and confirms that the pathway for food flow is stable, healthy and well supplied with blood. This step is essential for safety and long term success.
Before completing the procedure, Dr Keshavarzi checks positioning, confirms that there is no bleeding and verifies that the new digestive route is functioning as intended. The small incisions are then closed and the patient is moved to recovery for monitoring.
Recovery is gradual and supported by the team. Most patients return home the day after surgery. The first weeks focus on healing, hydration and gentle movement. You begin with liquids and progress to soft foods and then regular textures as your body adapts. It is normal to feel tired at first, but energy improves as weight begins to decrease and inflammation reduces.
Many patients notice early improvements in blood sugar, blood pressure and mobility even before significant weight loss occurs.
Most patients begin losing weight within the first weeks after surgery. The most rapid changes typically occur during the first three to six months, followed by steady progress throughout the first year. Beyond the scale, many patients experience better blood sugar control, reduced need for medications, improved sleep, easier movement and a renewed sense of confidence.
The combination of physical change and emotional support helps patients build habits that last.
Gastric Bypass offers a combination of physical, metabolic and emotional benefits that support long term success.
Gastric Bypass may be appropriate if you have a body mass index in the obesity range, have not achieved lasting results with diet, exercise or medication, or live with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. It is also an option for patients who feel physically and emotionally exhausted from years of weight cycling. A full medical evaluation is required to confirm that this procedure is safe and appropriate for your health profile.
The cost of Gastric Bypass in Miami and South Florida typically ranges from $17,500 to $24,000, depending on individual medical needs, facility fees and the level of postoperative support included. Flexible payment options are available in many bariatric programs to make treatment more accessible. Our doctor recommends a personalized consultation to review your goals, confirm medical eligibility and provide a clear estimate based on your specific treatment plan.
The procedure usually lasts one to two hours, depending on your anatomy and medical history.
Most patients stay one night and return home the next day if recovery is progressing well.
Yes. Because the procedure changes how your body absorbs nutrients, lifelong supplementation is required.
When performed with minimally invasive techniques, the procedure uses small incisions that tend to fade over time.
Weight regain is possible if lifestyle changes are not maintained. This is why ongoing follow up and emotional support are part of the program.
