"Thank you Dr. Mailapur for giving me the tool I needed to get back to a healthy life. When I first met with Dr. Mailapur in November 2014, I weighed 255 (on my home scale)---today, I'm 169. I've gone from a size 44 pants to size 34---from a size XX shirt to a Medium. Before my surgery, I was taking 3 blood pressure medications and one for high cholesterol---now I'm off all of them and my blood pressure is fine. I can now fit into my Army uniform that I haven't been able to wear since I left active duty in 1982. I can now walk 5 miles in slightly less than an hour. I can ride my bike 15 miles in an hour and five minutes---things I never thought I'd be able to do again. I've found that I can travel/vacation and still maintain/lose weight. We were gone on a trip for about 6 weeks, late April 2015 to early June. I lost 10 pounds during that period and we still were able to go out to dinner and visit with family and friends. Before meeting Dr. Mailapur, I'd never even considered that I was a candidate for this surgery (bariatric sleeve). He showed me that I was, and with his care, it's been the best medical decision I've ever made. Dr. Mailapur and his team are the VERY BEST!! If you have a problem like I did, give them a chance to help."
