"During my original consultation with Dr Sabir he sat and listened to me talk about my 20 year struggle with weight gain and all my attempts to lose weight. I listed all my diets, hospital supervised weight loss programs, and workout efforts. I explained that I understood that weight is lost only through calorie deprivation and that is achieved by decreasing calorie intake and increasing physical activity (calorie burn). I told him that my problem wasn't so much a lack of being willing to exercise, but rather an inability to manage my eating, specifically the amount of food I regularly ate. For about 35 minutes he sat and listened. Then I concluded by saying that I had considered GB for 10 years, but that I wanted to exhaust every means of weight management before I turned to GB surgery, and that now I had come to the decision that GB was the route for me.
He looked straight at me and said "And that's the only reason why I will agree to perform it on you."
At that point I understood that he was not in it for another customer, for the paycheck, etc. He believed in me, and I believed in him. Dr. Sabir has given me his personal cell number and always put my well-being ahead of everything. He is a wonderful doctor and I highly recommend him. His staff is outstanding and the hospital he works at is fantastic. "
