Madison Surgical Associates Bariatric Center

For many years I've tried many different things to lose weight, and nothing I did seemed to work. I decided to try something different, so I went to a seminar with Dr. Mailpur and that when I made the decision to have bariatric surgery. Dr. Mailpur take a a personal interest in his patients. I am very satisfied with the results that I'm receiving. I must say that this is the best my confidence level has ever been. Before my weight loss i weighed 268 it has now been 7 mth and I'm now down to 200 lbs. Thank you Dr. Mailpur for helping to change my life. You are a great doctor.

Thank You,

Marilyn Oliver

On September 23, 2013, I had the Sleeve Bariatric surgery, and already feeling fantastic and looking marvelous! I have lost 40 lbs. in 2 weeks and 4 days. As to date, my medication has been reduced to half. My goal is to be off all insulin and medications for the rest of my life, which Dr. Mailapur's has prolonged greatly.

Six days Post-Op visit with Dr. Mailapur, I asked, "Dr. Mailapur did you do surgery on me? I can't even tell that I had surgery, I feel great". All visits to your office has been genially professional and I received excellent care. I came with apprehension and left with total gratification. Thank you so much, Dr. mailapur, for giving me the "TOOL"!!!

Gastric sleeve surgery was the best decision I have made! Dr. Mailapur sincerely cares about his patients and does everything in his power to help you succeed.

I am so happy with the surgery. Dr. Mailapur is a great surgeon and explains everything so good. I have not regretted it for a second. I am so happy.

Wonderful surgeon. Very detail oriented and professional. He requires extensive education regarding the surgery, diet and nutrition before the surgery. He emphasizes that the surgery is a tool, but the weight loss occurs through the commitment of the individual. It is his belief that the individual must adhere to strict guidelines involving exercise and diet. His office staff is friendly. Mailapur stresses the dangers of surgery in all of his pre operative appointments. He has a good bedside manner, but I really appreciate his surgical skill. I am looking forward to reducing my medical issues and eliminating medications.

Dr.Mailapur is by far the best surgeon I've ever met in my life! I am 20 years old & been overweight my entire life. I had the VSG in April. Dr.Mailapur is nice & thorough in explaining everything to you before & after surgery. He & his staff go above & beyond to make sure everything is taken care of & they truly care about their patients. There is nothing I would change about Dr.Mailapur or my experience with him as my surgeon. He emphasizes aftercare through the whole process & makes sure his patients know bariatric surgery is a "tool" not a magic surgery to make you skinny. He has a very structured aftercare program with detailed guidelines to follow to ensure your success. All risks of surgery were addressed in his seminars, in our bariatric guide, & by talking to you one on one in your office visits with him. Overall I would rate Dr.Mailapur as an outstanding doctor! I am so glad he did my surgery & would recommend him to anyone! I am so thankful for him & for him performing the surgery & giving me a fresh start at life. I love Dr.M & will always be grateful for him & everything he has done for me!!!

I made the decision to have Gastric Bypass Surgery on April 15, 2013. I was referred to Dr. Ravindra Mailapur (COE). From day one I have nothing but positive things to say. He makes you go through a process to be sure you are making the right decision, constantly reminding you he is giving you a "Tool" - how you choose to use that tool is up to you. From the very first seminar, to the office consult, through support meetings, Closed Facebook Page (Huntsville Surgical Weight Loss Group), Nutritional & Nursing Staff Support & meetings, his wonderful Office Staff, but most of all Dr. Mailapur himself -- IT IS ALL POSITIVE, ALL TOP NOTCH. He continues after surgery to follow your progress. I would VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Mailapur! I live an hour away, and would choose him again. If you live in North Alabama or Southern Tennessee, I strongly recommend you go to his FREE Seminar - you won't be sorry and he will change your life. Thanks Dr. M and Staff!

Just had my 3 month post-op appointment with Dr. Mailapur and I have lost 110 pounds! I'm at 58% of my goal. Dr. Mailapur and his team have been incredible every step of the way. Could not be happier with the results. They are have been so nice and helpful and never make me feel like I'm a nuisance. I would highly recommend Dr. Mailapur if you are considering Bariatric Surgery.

Dr. Mailapur is very professional and straight forward. I went to one of his seminars unsure on even having surgery. After listening to him and his staff I was convinced that I am making the right decision. On the day of surgery I was very scared and nervous, Dr. Mailapur reassured me that everything was going to be ok. He and his medical staff was great before and after surgery. Couldn't have picked a better doctor, I will definately recommend Dr. Mailapur. Since May 2013, I am down 70 pounds and feeling awesome! Wished I had done it sooner! Thanks Dr. Mailapur for giving me the opportunity to live life again without be tired and depressed.

I can't say enough about Dr. Mailapur and his staff. From the moment I met him at the first REQUIRED seminar, I knew that he was the only surgeon I would trust. From that day forward, he and his staff have been with me every step of the way. I had the Sleeve on July 29, 2013. Dr Mailapur himself called my room that night to see how I was doing. That speaks volumes. I was required to lose 10 lbs prior to my surgery, which I did and to date (including that 10 lbs) I am down 34 lbs. When I went for my 2 week post op visit, both Dr Mailapur and Jessica took their time to go over things and to answer any and all questions that I had. I am so thankful that the Nutrition class was REQUIRED because I wouldn't have known where to start post-op. Thank you Dr. Mailapur for being so straight forward with me and for guiding me in the right direction. You have truly changed my life!!!!!!!!!
