Sandeep Malhotra
"From the very first time I met Dr. Malhotra, I knew he was going to be my inspiration for the rest of my life. I had my surgery done on June 15, 2004 at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Hospital. I was scheduled for if my memory is right 8:00 a.m., I just remember when I woke up that morning that I was having my surgery, I was so excited and did not have one drop of fear in me. My sister Donna & my wonderful friend Gina went with me and they as well were also amazed how excited I was to be going. When I was in the pre-op area, Dr. came to see me with a big smile on his face and I had one to give him right back and he told me he would see me in a little while. Next thing I know I was in my room with some more family there along with Dr. Malhotra. He told me all went well and I remember even though I was under the anesthesia just thanking him and asking him when he was coming back to see me. Well there he was the next day and at this time I was already sitting up in a chair. He walked in the room sat down and talked to me like he was more my friend than someone that probably just gave me some more time in my life having weighed 368 pounds. I was dozing on and off since I think I still had some anesthesia in my system. I remember with a smile of course him saying I will see you tomorrow. I had my camera with me and made my sister take a picture of us one day post-op, (wish they would put it on here just to see by the looks in our face that we were both proud of what was accomplished one day prior)..he came in the next day and again sat and talked to me, we even talked about things not related to the surgery. The next day he came in and removed my drain and told me I could go home. He then said I am on call this weekend and please call me with any problem no matter how small it is. My brother came and picked me up on Friday, and guess where I was Sunday at the Viewmont Mall walking around. I thank god every day what a great recovery I had and how great I look, (at least I think I do). I then had my first post-op visit with him and he told me he was leaving the area. I was really upset, but obviously he was going to make other people happy just like he made me. Dr. Malhotra is the greatest man in the world in my eyes."
