Surgeon TestimonialRavindra Mailapur (COE)My first impression of Dr. Mailapur is that he cares about his patients & gives a very informative seminar. I liked the fact that he stayed around after the seminar to meet with you (if you wanted) & answer anymore questions that you might have. On my first visit he answered more questions & he did not seem to mind at all. I did not feel like he was rushing with me to get to the next patient. He told me all appt. I would have to have with different DR. & about all test & that this is a life change not a just a diet. When he was finished with his talk he ask me once again did I have anymore questions. I felt that he was very interested in what I was asking & that all my questions were important.HIS office staff is very nice & helpful, I would always talk to Jessica she is/always very nice about my questions(I have been full of them). As I started getting closer to giving everything to my insurance she has made sure all paper work has been in order. So I'm sure that is why I received a date within a few days of them getting my papers. So far I would recommened Dr. Mailapur & his office staff to anyone. I think that surgical competence is by far more important than bedside manner, but a a great bedside manner is always a big plus, & Dr. Mailapur has a great bedside manner. I had my surgery on 7-12-2010, I met Dr. Mailapur in the hall before I got a room & he still wanted to know if I had more questions & that he would take good care of me, because I was a bit nervious. He then give me a big hug & told me I would be fine. I have also been to my follow up visit he was just as informative as he was the first time I met him. He told me he had given me the tool now it was up to me to use it to my advantage. He told me things I could & could not eat. At the end of my visit he said if I had questions to just call(& I have) Then gave me a big hug , he then shook hands with my husband said I was doing great & we were on our way. I would tell anyone that Dr. Mailapur is the Dr./surgeon to go to I have had no problems & I'm doing great. I know I picked the best Dr. in my area to go to & I'm very happy I found him. There is nothing negative to say about Dr. Mailapur or his staff, they are all wonderful. Member Interests

Test over June 29, 2010 on June 29, 2010 1:53 pm
As of yesterday I finished all test I think everything went well, will hear in a few days. I'm so worried about my surgery being put off, I have had a cold I still have a cough & sore throat. I have 2wks. to go so I'm praying it will be gone before then. I re-started my 2wk. diet today, was anybody else sick the day of surgery or had to have it put off because of being sick. I would like to have any in put if possible. Thanks.

I GOT A DATE FINALLY !!!! on June 18, 2010 11:02 am
If I have already posted this I'm sorry for doing so again, I have tried to write @ post this 3 times but have got knocked off line so I don't think it posted anywhere. Sooooo , I had started my 2wk. diet because Jessica (Dr. office) told me to go a head & start on the 14th. My ins. said I would have a date as soon as I seen the nutritionist, which I went to on Thursday of last wk. Ins.co. called me on Friday to ask me questions something like a pre register thing , she was showing a surgery date of June 28th (that's why I started diet on 14th but they had not received papers from nutritionist). Called Jessica but she was gone for the day, She called me back on Mon. or Tues. said she had just faxed all papers , then on Wed. she called & ask if I would be able to have surgery on July 12th... I said yes (of course) So I guess it put the date back since it wouldn't be a full 2 wks. & I still have to get lab work & see the cardiologist so I have all appts. made . Jessica told me to stay on diet until July 12th but there is no way I can stay on it that long. I am going to have a hard time doing 2wks. but I know I will make my self do 2wks. Anyway, forgetting all that " I HAVE A DATE OF JULY 12TH AT 10AM FOR SURGERY" I'll stop rambling & say bye for now .... I'll post when I have more to say, If anyone has any advice before or after the surgery I need/should know PLEASE tell me ....
Getting closer to date!!! on June 17, 2010 1:21 am
I started my 2wk. pre-op diet this week, I'm so hungry...LOL but I know I have to stick to this diet. I will have to keep busy so I won't think about it. Believe me I have enough to do around here to stay busy. I'll just have to make myself get started with it, & I if I'm working all day maybe that will make me tired enough to go to bed & sleep. I've been staying up until 4:30-5:00 am , then sleeping until 12:00-1:00 . I hate sleeping that late the day is over before I get started on anything. I like getting up around 8am & start my day early, anyway I'll stop rambling & go to bed it's 3:30am....LOL But "I WILL GET UP EARLY " I need to going walking before it gets so hot..... talk later.

almost there on June 10, 2010 6:37 pm
I went to see the nutritionist today, I learned a few things I didn't know & I need to learn alot more. So my Dr.'s office told me to start my pre surgery diet on June 14 so I guess they think I will have a surgery date very soon. I can hardly wait but I'm also a little worried, but I really think everything is going to be fine, I really want to get this done & start living a new & healthily life. I'll post again when I get a date.
