"My first impression of Dr. Chahal was... he is so young, this guy is going to operate on me? Also I felt at first that he was talking out of his ass in ways. My first visit Dr. Chahal told me that I needed to lose 5 lbs in the next month, I was like this Dr. crazy does he not know how easy that is for me, so I went at it, and guess what when I went back a month later, i gained 7.4 lbs it was a slap in the face and miss cocky over here when she met with him, slapped it right back in her face, and said "your not ready" I was stunned, and that was when it all made sense to me. Dr. Chahal is the Jillian Micahels of weight loss surgery,and if it was not for his honesty then I might not be where I am at today, and I thank him for that. So that next month I went home and did what I had to do, even hired a personal trainer, when I went back I not only lost the 7.4 lbs but total lost 12lbs. I need for him not to sugar coat it for me. Any future patients that work with Dr. Chahal, he cares, and means what he says, but if your looking for someone to sugar coat things for you then he is not the one you want to work with, actually if your looking for anyone to sugar coat anything for you then you are not ready to have this surgery. This is truley a life change. Dr. Chahal came to visit me everyday after he performed the surgery and I can not wait to see him with my future success, he provided me the tool to be able to live the rest of my life, and for that I thank him.
