I met Dr Amit Taggar back in 2015 when he was practice in Birmingham, I was big guy back then was recommended Gastric Sleeve. I was close over 300lbs and after gastric sleeve done with Dr Taggar to these days I weighted 160. Healthy and no back pains legs lower back at all for over 10 years this coming May 2025 it would be 10 years since I had gastric sleeve done yes weight still the same several years up and down little bit. I’m sure it called “”plateau “” but I’m happy what I am today. Thank you Dr Taggar!

December 16th 2021 my life completely changed and I cannot thank Dr Amit Taggar enough for bringing my life back!! I was diagnosed with breast cancer Dec 2020 and had surgery Jan 2021. I was told this was my wake up call and I had to get the weight off. After I completed treatment my first visit for weight loss surgery (gastric sleeve) was May 11, 2021 and I weighed in at 291lbs. Every month for 7 months I had to do a monthly visit and make sure I didn’t gain. On Dec 16 morning of surgery I weighed in at 274 and now 3 years later I have maintained between 171 and 175. On Nov 13th 2024 I had Panniculectomy surgery with Dr Juan Socas and I just put on my first pair of jeans and zipped them right up!!! All I can say is Thank You to all of my Doctors in getting me to where I am now.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Taggar From my very first consultation to post-surgery follow-ups, the care and attention I received have been exceptional. Dr. Taggar is not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate, taking the time to answer all of my questions and ensure I felt confident every step of the way. The surgery itself was a life-changing experience, and I am beyond grateful for the results and the quality of care I received. The office staff is equally amazing—professional, friendly, and always willing to help. If you’re considering bariatric surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Taggar.

I can't praise Dr. Amit Taggar enough! He is a amazing doctor , he is kind and professional. He explains everything to you and listens carefully to your concerns and questions. I allow Dr. Taggar to choose which procedure he felt was best for me, and had Gastric Bypass in 2019 and my results were more then I expected. I can not thank Dr. Taggar for what he did for me and my family. After I had my Surgery June or 2019, my Husband and my son both had the surgery on the same day in December of 2019 also, by Dr. Taggar. We are for ever grateful for giving us our life back.

He continues to check on your well being and always is so encouraging of progress made. I highly recommend Dr. Taggar. He changed my life and I am so grateful for him!
