Surgeon Testimonial Ravindra 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

right now it has slowed down so much. I have finally started going to the gym (a couple months now) today was a great day & the weather was beautiful. I went to the gym this morning & I actually walked home, I live a few blocks from it. I decided if I get up a little earlier I can also walk there my hubby dropped me off today, their parking lot is so small. Anyway, We (my hubby) went & dug up some trees about 10 brought them home & my son planted most of them, I helped a little I'm not good at digging. We will plant the rest tomorrow, I should have been inside cleaning it's a mess, but the day was so nice I even put on shorts & a tank top to get a little sun. The shorts are so big they looked like a skirt but the elastic made them stay up (some), my grandson was outside with us & we where running after each other & I was holding him (he's 4) & running & yesterday I went on a walk w/ hubby Gavin (grandson) wanted to go I had to carry him the whole time . On both occasions it hit me "I'm actually walking & running around & I'm not out of breat" at all I could talk & walk
instead of trying to keep my breathing under control so my hubby wouldn't know just how out of shape & unhealthy I was (like he couldn't look at me & tell). I guess that was my "WOW"
moment, it was such a great feeling chasing after him with him laughing & yelling "you can't get me" he loved it & so did I 
. The best part was being able to breath & talk at the same time, I know I have already said that but I just can't get over being able to do that. Now when we finally came in & had a shower & dinner I fell a sleep in front of the TV before 7pm & woke up at 8:30pm. I have been getting sick a little more but I think I need to chew & slow down a little more. Been having major gas problems, but all in all life is great right now & I know it will only get better. My hubby ask me the other day (after I had been
throwing up) if I would do it all again (surgery & all that went along with it) I said "in a heart beat". I'm so happy I had WLS done, it was the best thing I have every done for myself. Now I can't wait to have my tummy tuck & boobs done & a little liposuction here & there. Goodnight
to all you night owls out there, drop me some advice or recipes or just a note to let me know how your doing. I love hearing from everyone, it let's me know that someone hears me...LOL
