I made the decision in June 2016 that being 295 pounds was going to keep me from living a long happy life with my kids and the wonderful man that swept me off my feet in September 2015. My primary care MD lhad encouraged me to get a consultation with a bariatric surgeon but I was quickly discouraged because that doctor refused to see me due to a prior stomach surgery. I thank Dr. Chaudhry for taking the time to see me and getting the full picture of my anatomy and making my surgery so important to him. I can not thank him enough!! The way I feel, my outlook on life and my overall happiness has changed so drastically and I have him to thank!! I look forward to sending more pics as I get to my ultimate goal weight.
I had surgery on July 11th, 2016 by Dr. Chaudhry. I have lost 120.5 pounds. I knew I needed to take control of my life. I fretted over making the first appointment to see Dr. Chaudhry. He was amazing. He was very detailed in explaining my options and truly made me feel comfortable.

For once a doctor was supportive of helping me be successful, not judging me as if I had made bad life choices. He recommended the Gastric Sleeve. I wish I would have had surgery sooner. I feel better than I did in my twenties. I had let life get the best of me.
Food had become my comfort and then my excuse. When I saw Dr. Chaudhry I weighed 274 pounds. I am now 154 pounds almost 10 months post op. I am off all of my other medications other than an occasional headache. I am enjoying things that I either physically couldn’t do or I was embarrassed.
My outside now matches my inside. I am proud of who I am. I am proud of what I have become. I appreciate what Dr. Chaudhry has done for me.
Another patient success with Dr. Chaudhry.
