Before I started the Optifast Program I was very much overweight. I could not walk up a flight of stairs or 2 feet before gasping for air.
I came to Institute for Weight Management in June 2006, feeling like my weight had gone out of control. I could not lose the 50+ lbs I needed to lose with a regular diet, though I tried for months. I would lose 5-10 lbs, only to gain it back. I met with Dr. Chhabra before I began the program, and felt that I finally came to the right place.
Art and Susan have struggled with their weight their whole adult life. Art was prediabetic and had high blood pressure and was referred to us by his primary physician to lose weight.
After yo-yo dieting for some years and trying to get my weight back on track after having some health issues, I realized nothing I tried was working. I tried weight watchers, tracking my food, exercise, low carb, etc. When another doctor recommended Dr. Chhabra to me, at first I was hesitant – I didn’t make […]

I never developed good eating habits or had any sense of portion size as I was always thin as a child and young adult. After gaining weight in my 30s & 40s, I tried everything – Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, diet meal delivery services, fasting… I had trouble sticking to it and the weight loss […]
After trying many, many diets and even weight loss surgery all to no success, I finally decided to try a medically supervised diet. Dr. Chhabra and the Optifast Program have been life-changing for me. I feel healthier than I have in years. I have more energy, feel confident and motivated due to the quick results. The atmosphere of the office is so pleasant and the ladies always make me feel like a winner. I have already recommended friends and family to her practice.
I have been seeing Dr. Chhabra at the Institute for Weight Management for over nine months. I lost approximately 40 lbs. and have been able to maintain my current weight for the last two months. Dr. Chhabra and her staff provided me with the incentive and structure I needed to accomplish my goal for losing weight. Dr. Chhabra is extremely knowledgeable, caring and provided me with the motivation I needed to be successful in losing weight.
I have been overweight most of my adult life. I love food, however all the wrong types of food or too much good food. I eat when I’m happy and when I’m sad, I eat just to eat. I definitely never exercise as I should, but always seeking quick fixes to lose weight which I never maintain for any period of time.
