Dr. Mailapur performed my gastric sleeve surgery in May of 2021. From the very first appointment until now during my post surgery appointments, my experience has been flawless. Both Dr. M and his staff are incredibly kind, skilled and thorough. I was very impressed with the straightforward information I was given when starting this process and feel that Dr. M has only my best health in mind. I have lost 70 lbs so far and feel like a completely new person. I literally have my life back and I owe it to Dr. M!

Dr. Mailapur and his staff saved my life. That surgery was the best decision I ever made. He is very thorough and easy to talk to. Aside from being an amazing surgeon, hes a down to earth, good person. I never dread going to my yearly check ups.

I highly recommend Dr, Mailapur to perform gastric by-pass surgery. He performed my surgery fourteen years ago. It was the easiest surgery I have ever been through! Not only did the surgery give me the tool to lose weight, it cured my diabetes. I thoroughly recommend Dr. Mailapur for this surgery. As a footnote, a dear friend of mine who had not studied about this surgery was so afraid that I was going to die. Her sister, who was a nurse at Huntsville Hospital, came down to see about me and found me in a chair laughing. I trust him so much I later asked him to remove my gall bladder. I continue to see Dr. Mailapur yearly.Sue Kirkland, CPS

Dr. Mailapur saved my life and for that I am truly grateful. My story, June 2018, Dr. Mailapur performed the Gastric Sleeve. When I started loosing the weight, I found a lump on the left top side of my breast. July 2019, I was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer, Stage 3, Grade 3. I am now a 2-year breast cancer survivor thanks to the wonderful surgery that brought this to light. I am so thankful for Dr. Mailapur and his wonderful, professional staff. If I had not of chose to do this surgery, I would not be here today. Thank you and God Bless for a truly wonderful doctor.

I had my weight loss surgery in November 2019 with Dr. Mailapur as my surgeon. From the first time I stepped foot in his office, he and his staff made me feel right at home. Almost 2 years later, I feel the exact same way. Dr. Mailapur truly cares for his patients and wants them to succeed with their tool. Over the past two years, any time I had any questions or concerns, he and his staff were sure to make sure everything was answered and I was taken care of (no matter how many times a day I called 😂). At my heaviest, I was around 270, and today I am around 145-150. I feel better than I have in my entire life, and I owe it all to my tool. If I could give Dr. M and his folks 10 stars, I 100% absolutely would!

Best Dr I have ever experienced! My surgery was over 4 years ago and he still remembers me AND my case history. Surgery itself was a breeze. Best bedside manner Ive ever experienced as well. His staff is friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They are like a family and it shows. Dr Mailapur and his whole staff are all true cheerleaders! Definitely recommend!!!

Highly recommend this doctor. He certainly knows what he is doing and gave me my life back. Weighed in at 219 lbs in March 2021.. 6 months later, I’m down to 150 lbs… ankle pain is gone, self esteem is back, and I no longer take for granted so many things I enjoyed before gaining weight. This surgery did exactly what I wanted it to do — helped me shed the weight I didn’t have the discipline or time to get rid of.. requires me now to do healthy things I should’ve been doing all along, such as drinking lots of water and walking and not over-eating.. I’m so grateful to Dr. M. He is serious about the commitment he requires of his patients and is one of the biggest cheerleaders one could hope for.. Wonderful and successful experience by a doctor who has done this surgery (gastric sleeve) flawlessly thousands of times. I had and still have total confidence in him, his staff, his advice, his knowledge, and his encouraging bedside manner. Very happy client!

I can not say enough about the staff and most importantly Dr. Mailapur since day 1 when I went in for my consultation they have been nothing but open and honest about everything I’ve asked.

Dr. Mailapur gave me my life back! I had surgery, Gastric Sleeve, in January 2021, nine months later I am currently down 99.3lbs. I am so happy with the results I see and how amazing I feel today. Some may say this is the “easy way” to lose weight, it’s not at all, you are given a tool to use to help you make better decisions about your life and health. You must be willing to do it and mentally prepared to do it, his office was there for post op support and encouragement along with my family. I would recommend Dr. Mailapur to any of my family or friends.

Dr. Mailpar took out my gallbladder October, 2021. If I need surgery in the future I will definitely let him do it. My experience with Dr. Mailipar and his staff was great. He was professional, explained the procedure and the risk. Before and after surgery he came to check on me. I cant say enough about him and his staff. He is a great Doctor.

BLUF: I had the Lap Band ~8 years ago & without success. I happily had it removed simultaneous with a gastric sleeve. I would have this gastric sleeve surgery again 10x over. 90 days post surgery I am down 77lbs...or 33% overall reduction from my high water mark. IN ADDITION: I an no longer on ANY prescription medications. I was on 5 (both weight and anxiety-related)...now nothing! I highly recommend Dr. Mailapur and his staff to get you through the insurance wickets, pre-surgery & post surgery tasks. If you are on the fence about doing this, this is highly do-able. Any 5-10 days post-surgery pain or discomfort (there is zero pain or discomfort now) is 100x overshadowed by how I feel and look now...and the loss is still far from over!

I highly recommend Dr. Mailapur and everyone who works in his office! From the very first appointment until three years later, they have been nothing but awesome! Every question I have had was answered quickly and compassionately. These people know their stuff! I went into weight loss surgery with my eyes open and with tons of knowledge to make an informed decision because Dr. Mailapur insists on his patients being educated and sure of their decision. I have been very successful in my journey with no issues because of the information and support that I have been given!! No regrets from me!

I have recently became a patient of Dr. Mailapur. I have had Gastric sleeve surgery and have lost 21 lbs in the first 2 weeks after surgery in addition to 14 lbs lost on pre-operative diet. I couldn’t be more pleased. Dr. Mailapur and his staff have been excellent. They have been there for me every step of the way to support and encourage me. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is considering any kind of weight loss surgery.Looking forward to losing another 60-70lbs. over the next year. Thank you Dr. Mailapur and staff.- [ ]

I had an outpatient procedure done by Dr. Mailapur. He came highly recommended by my primary care physician. His staff was very professional and courteous. Couldn’t ask for a better outcome from my procedure. Dr. Mailapur was the fist doctor ever to ask me if I was satisfied with the service he provided and did his staff treat me well. Just goes to show you how he puts his patients first. Was very glad my primary care physician recommended Dr. Mailapur with Madison Surgical Associates.

Dr M and his staff absolutely go above and beyond to make sure they are giving the best care possible. From the front desk, triage, nurse and Dr/PA the entire visit is seamless. I love that Jessica knows basically everything :) and has clearly done her part to know her job and what is required for specifically bariatric surgery and I am sure everything else. I love the atmosphere of his office and I have never doubted the fact that his staff truly cares and loves their patients. Dr. M changed my life and I will forever be grateful !!

It’s been 1 year since my sleeve surgery. I have never met another surgeon so compassionate and caring about his patients. Amanda (nurse practitioner) is excellent. Staff is 50/50. Some (Jessica, Amber) are exceptional. The others seem a little checked out like they’re just going through the motions, but overall, great practice. I always had an easy time making appointments. My calls were returned in a timely manner whenever I had an issue that I needed help with. I really appreciated having to take a nutrition class prior to surgery. It has helped me so much in my journey. I’ve lost 90% of my excess body weight. Thanks, Dr. Mailapur! ❤️

Dr. Mailapur performed my gastric sleeve surgery in October 2019. From information session to surgery day, he was always professional and personable at each meeting. He answered all of my questions and supported my choice to get gastric sleeve. Even now, two years later, he continues to be a source of support and knowledge. I wish I had done this so much sooner!

Im so thankful for Dr. Mailapur and his team of well-trained, caring, and respectful staff. Towards the end of May of this year I had the gastric sleeve surgery. I couldnt be more appreciative for this tool. I have lost over 65 lbs by my 3 month appointment. I know I couldnt have done it without the help of Dr. Mailapur and his team. They have kept me on track with my goals and are always there when I need anything. He really cares about his patients and their well being. Im so glad I went with him for this life changing event.

Dr Mailapur has performed several surgeries on me from gall bladder to hernias etc. In addition he performed a gastric bypass that in reality extended my life and also an emergency surgery when my intestines twisted that saved my life. I have been a patient of his for twelve years. He has always been very caring and concerned about me as a person as well as a patient. His staff treats you with respect and kindness. I always know he is in my corner should I need him. Do yourself a favor if you have an issue that falls within his skilled capabilities give him a call. I did and have never regretted it. Thanks Doc!

I met Dr. Mailapur when my wife decided to have the gastric sleeve. She wanted us the have the surgery done at the same time, but I was very skeptical of it. I watched my wife do fantastic with it and is still crushing it. That and a health scare is what helped me in making my decision to have the surgery. During this time, Dr. Mailapur was always very supportive and continued to encourage me to consider the surgery for not just me but for my family. I had the gastric sleeve surgery the Friday before Labor Day 2020. I weighted 384lbs on the day of surgery. I had tried many many times on my own to loose weight with me actually weighing at my heaviest 425lbs. The lowest I was ever able to get to was 371lbs but slowly gained it back to my weight before surgery. Since surgery I have lost 80lbs and just finished my first ever 5k this past weekend. I’ve never wanted to run unless something was chasing me or I was running to get in line to eat. Now I run with my family to stay healthy and be around for a long time. I cannot say how thankful I am for Dr. Mailapur for all his help and encouragement.

Dr. M. and his staff are super nice and easy to work with. The wait time in his office is kind of long, but it’s because he’s a busy man. He performed my sleeve gastrectomy and I’ve had zero issues and have had great success. I’m currently about to have my gallbladder removed by him as well. I trust him 100%.

I began my weight loss surgery prep with a different surgeon and it was a terrible experience. I switched to Dr. Mailapur and it has been wonderful the whole way through. His staff has their stuff together and they handle the business well. His PA Amanda is so skilled and caring. Dr. M. will show you kindness and understanding and he will be your cheerleader. I have zero regrets about using this practice. They are the best around!

I was referred to Dr. Mailapur after a bad experience with a previous surgeon. He was kind, compassionate, and communicated well. I went in for a what I thought was a removal of 3 sebaceous cysts. One turned out to be a rare sarcoma. Dr. Mailapur discussed with me and we went in for a more detailed removal of the camcer and the next results were negative!! I highly recommend Dr. Mailapur and his skills. He treated me like family, so what else could you ask for? Its good to know he is there again, if I need him. His nurse practitioner also rocks!

Review №37

Six years ago, with the aid and guidance of Dr. Mailapur, I made the most important health decision of my life. I put myself in the most capable hands of Dr. M and committed myself to gastric sleeve surgery. To say that I truly feel that Dr. M saved and extended my life is a huge understatement. Having lost a total of 100+ lbs, I was able to once again return to the weight I returned from after a year in Vietnam at the ripe old age of 23. In truth, slowly over the past 4-5 years, Ive regained a little over 20 of those pounds back. But, instead of being upset with me at my annual checkup last week, Dr M. said I shouldnt be too hard on myself. I needed to simply get back on track, stop the gaining trend and bend the curve downward. After all, he said, Were all only human. The things that I can still do...walking several miles at a time, deep sea fishing, traveling, woodworking, yard work, volunteering at church and community service, enjoying our 6 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild, etc.,etc....at the age of 75, far exceed my hopes and expectations of 6 short years ago. And with only a couple of low-dose medications and complete recovery from sleep apnea (and a CPAC Machine), life couldnt be better. More than anything else, Dr. M gave me the tools (the surgery and support) to live a full life, and got my head on straight to make it work. Ill be forever in his debt--God Bless Dr. M and his entire team of lifes miracle workers!!!

I recently required abdominal surgery and was referred to Dr. Ravindra V. Mailapur of Madison Surgical Associates. Never having a prior surgery I was somewhat anxious. After an exam, Dr. Mailapur explained why surgery was necessary, what my surgery entailed, and what I could expect by way of post-surgical recovery. He answered all my questions with patience and good humor. Prior to my operation, my condition worsened. Dr. Mailapur accelerated the schedule while exuding such confidence that I was equally confident and, in fact, had a good outcome. His staff is friendly and professional. Should I need surgery in the future, I will consult Madison Surgical Associates.

Dr. M & his staff are very caring, professional, & knowledgeable. I started the process for the gastric sleeve with another surgeon who has completed the surgery on my husband as well as several friends. After visiting Dr. M’s seminar as a support person, I quickly decided to swap to him. I am 7 months out from surgery & 100lbs down from starting the process. My only issue (like so many others) is that I waited so long to go through with it! Only wish I would have done it sooner! I feel 100 times better than ever before! I’m loving the new me!

My decision for weight loss surgery was a long thought out process. After a couple of years of reading, research, and talking with other patients, I decided this was the change I was ready to make. Dr.Mailapur was highly recommended above other physicians. After my process started I could see why. He and his staff are so on top of things. They go above and beyond to prepare you step by step for your surgery and your journey following. I am3 years post-op and this has been the best decision of my life. I started my journey at a beginning weight of 244lbs. I reached my goal weight within the first year, loosing down to 140lbs which was 90% of my body fat! My blood pressure and cholesterol medications were stopped within the first month following my surgery and I remain off of them today! Even at 3 years out, Dr.Mailapur and his staff are wonderful! Always a phone call away. He is always attentive to any needs or concerns I may have and the biggest cheerleader you will have on this journey! I have seen products of other surgeons and programs and know I made the best choice! I will forever be grateful for this amazing doctor and the tool he gave me to achieve a healthier me!

Review №65

I originally visited with Dr. Mailapur in 2017 and attended his information seminar. At the time I had never any medical procedures done, so the thought of having surgery was completely overwhelming. 3 years later I ended up in his office terrified again but committed to following through with it this time. After being approved my surgery was performed on Mar 15, 2021 and as of July 7, 2021 I am currently down 93 pounds. I must admit that initially I was a little taken back by Dr. Mailapur because he is very direct and tells you exactly how it is. I could not decide if that was just his personality or if I was just another patient and he didnt really care. But, 3 weeks after surgery I was hospitalized for 5 days with an unrelated issue. Despite it being ruled out that I was not having complications from my sleeve, Dr. Mailapur or Amanda were the absolute first to be their to check on me each morning of all the teams involved in my care. Overall have had a great experience with his office, his nurse Jessica answered all of my emails despite how many or how frequent. Last but definitely not least, Amanda the Physician Assistant is absolutely amazing and has the best bedside manner that I have ever encountered.

If you are contemplating weight loss surgery or any surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Mailapur. Your success in weight loss is a life altering experience as was mine. Him and his staff, in order for me and anyone to become successful, have all of the tools, advice, and knowledge to prepare you for this life giving surgery. I just celebrated my five year anniversary of the gastric sleeve. I lost 135 pounds, and although Ive gained some back, I am still 100 pounds down. I have my family back and play with the grandkids all of the time. Also, August of 2020, he removed my gallbladder and repaired an umbilical hernia. I can honestly say, with his help, he saved my life and I am proud to call him my friend.

8 years ago I made the decision to have the gastric sleeve surgery. It was the best decision of my life. Dr. Mailapur is my most trusted doctor who has became a friend. He truly cares about me and my family. Not only was my gastric sleeve surgery a success, but continues to be 8 years later. He has continued to keep me on the right path with yearly blood work and check-ups. Dr. Mailapur has also done surgery on mine and my husbands gallbladder with no complications. I highly recommend Dr. Mailapur!

Dr. Mailapur and his wonderful team go way beyond what most doctors do. I had my gastric bypass in 2012 and have had great success. Dr. Mailapur always treats you like family. If youre overweight and feeling miserable like I was, please call them. Go to the seminars he has and ask questions, talk to others who have had surgery. I promise that you will not regret one minute of your decision to change your life. I know it has changed mine. I would not be alive if it wasnt for Dr. Mailapur.

I had my initial consultation with Dr. Mailapur on April 22nd, 2021and he was very welcoming, professional, and informative. Not to mention he has a great sense of humor! He educated me and discussed my weight-related issues without judgment and left no questions unanswered. He gave me the game plan, and I’m ready to work the program to be on my way to a healthier lifestyle and add years to my life. I’m beginning my journey as soon as next week, and the procedure will be sometime in July! I will be posting a follow-up review, but so far, I am happy with Dr. Mailapur and his staff! I truly know I am in good hands, and he has my best interests at heart!

I initially saw Dr. Mailapur at a point when I felt desperate to get control over my health. He came HIGHLY recommended and that’s why I made the decision to drive three hours to have gastric sleeve surgery. Dr. Mailapur is very informative, compassionate, professional, and it’s obvious that he cares about his patients. From the time I initially made contact with his office to now, I have received great care from Dr. Mailapur and his team. I am three weeks post op and couldn’t be happier with the results thus far. He will most definitely be the surgeon that I seek for myself and my family if needed in the future. You will not be disappointed with Dr. Mailapur and the Madison Surgical Associates!

Dr. Malipur and his staff are top notch in the gastric surgery field. I am very pleased with their professionalism, communication, support and CARE. Having gastric surgery is not something to be taken lightly and they make sure every patient has all of the information needed to be successful from your very first appointment.They will all be your personal cheerleaders, information sources and friends if you decide to have him preform your surgery.I would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering gastric or any other type of surgery.

I had Gastric Bypass done in 2010, lost 80% of the weight I needed to lose and have kept it off. I also went from 4 insulin shots per day to one low dosage shot at bedtime. In addition, I no longer take any medication for high blood pressure. Dr. Mailapur is very supportive and caring and his staff is awesome. I am very, very pleased with the wonderful care I continue to receive from Dr. Mailapur and his medical team! Linda Shockley

My surgery was 4 years ago and my tool still works!!!! Though I fell off from my appointments and felt bad, Dr. Malipur aka Dr. M. gently reminded me the importance of staying on track and my work must come from the heart. Wise and kind words indeed. And yes, I am still much smaller than I was prior to surgery!!!Thank you Dr. M! I appreciate your wisdom and kindness and not making me feel like Im a failure.

Dr. Mailapur and his staff have given me a second chance at life! Due to some medical issues that I was facing and being obese, I was faced with a tough decision in 2019. I needed to make some drastic changes or suffer some severe physical complications. At my heaviest I was 356 lbs. currently, thanks to Dr. Mailapur and his staff I am 191 lbs. His approach is not just about numbers and having a bariatric surgery, it is about helping to make life changing choices and decisions.The follow up care, encouragement, education and support from the staff at Madison Surgical Associates and Dr. Mailapur have been amazing. The journey has been hard, but good. I can’t say enough GOOD things about this team. Thank you for caring for me, thank you for encouraging me, thank you for helping me find the old me! It’s good to be back! One last thing I would like to say thank you to Dr. Mailapur’s amazing wife, and daughters for sharing him with all of us. I would not be where I am today without him and his amazing team!John Lancaster

I made the decision to have Dr. Mailapur do my weight loss surgery and havent regretted one bit. Dr. Mailapur has an outstanding bed side manner and is an awesome surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr. Mailapur for weight loss surgery and any general surgery. Thank you Dr. Mailapur for the way you encourage your patients to believe in themselves. Thank you Dr. Mailapur for your excellent care.

My name is Val B. Dr. Mailapur and his staff have been so wonderful throughout my whole process. This is a forever life changing tool that I have been given! I had a vsg done on Feb 5th 2021. The Covid cases during that time at Huntsville Hospital gave us a date push back and rescheduling had to be done but we stuck together and made it through! I feel I was well informed, assisted, and prepared by him and his staff! This has given me a new outlook on life. So glad I chose to go with Dr. Mailapur for this surgery. (Also, I am someone that looks at the little things as well as the big things...when I got out of surgery and home, I noticed the gauze covering my incision sites were cut into the shapes of hearts!!!🥰🤗😍...something so small, but meant so much to me...totally symbolic of the care I had received!) Thank you again Dr. Mailapur

From the day I walked in this office I felt so much love and the information given to me was amazing. I saw that because I went to another weight lost office and felt absolutely nothing when I went in and got absolutely nothing when I went out. I haven’t had my surgery yet but what I gotten from Dr Mailapur and his staff has been overwhelming. I want to thank each and everyone thus far in my journey I really appreciate your kindness!!

If you are thinking about going to another doctor or staff for weight loss surgery,DON’T!!!!!!!! I absolutely adore Dr.Mailapur and his staff. Dr.Mailapur alone is one of the most sweetest and sincere doctors I have encountered from the day I had my first appointment up until today he has been consistently awesome!! He is a good hearted human being and you will not be disappointed and I cannot leave out his nurse Jessica Martinez, she is a woman about her business and she gets the job done, nothing but respect for her. I can’t leave out his Physician’s assistant Amanda M., she’s just a pleasure and after she bandaged up my incisions from my sleeve surgery, she made the bandages hearts, that was really sweet and it made a big impression on me so thank you ❤️!! Dr.Mailapur and his entire staff are angels and I am grateful to God that you guys are part of my journey 😘 much love and many blessings!!!!

I must say that I was apprehensive about going to a bariatric surgeon, but Dr. Mailapur and his staff were fantastic. What I appreciate most about my experience is that they prepare you for every aspect of the process. There were no surprises! The staff was completely up front about everything. Dr. Mailapur is very personable, professional, extremely knowledge, relatable, and encouraging! I could not have asked for a better experience. I am reclaiming my health through the tools provided to me through Dr. Mailapur and his staff! I am forever thankful to them!

I am so thankful for Dr. Mailapur and Amanda at Madison Surgical Associates! Not only are they excellent medical professionals, they are kind, encouraging, and caring to their patients. I had the gastric sleeve surgery in December 2020 and decided to go with Dr. Mailapur, after my mother and several close friends had successful weight loss surgery results with him and highly recommended him. I, in turn, would recommend this practice and Dr. Mailapur to anyone interested in doing the same surgery or similar. I wouldnt choose anyone else!! 5 stars for sure!

Review №97

Ive been to 3 ERs in the past week and none of them helped me. I saw Dr. Mailapur today and immediately felt like I was in good care. His office staff are friendly and professional. I felt heard by everyone. Dr. Mailapur was able to listen to my problems, review tests done at the ER, and clearly explain different options, and my procedure to me. I feel reassured and am looking forward to having my gallbladder removed tomorrow. Honestly, Im also relieved now after meeting Dr. Mailapur that the ER didnt help me and that he is doing the surgery instead of someone there. Highly recommend this office and doctor.Update: Now that Ive had surgery, I wanted to add to my review. 5 stars doesnt feel high enough of a rating. The entire surgery team was amazing; friendly, professional, caring, knowledgeable, and great at explaining their roles. Dr. Mailapur checked in with me before surgery for any questions I might have at that moment and for a reassuring elbow bump! I cant express enough my respect and gratitude for Dr. Mailapur and the care he has given me.

I started my weight loss journey with Dr Mailapur, 11 years ago. My weight was 248lbs I think, I just had my check up and weighed 120. Before I bwas insulin dependent, and not in control at all! My blood pressure was high, and arthritis in my feet and ankles was making any activity painful. As a new grandmother, I was convinced I needed to do something to stop this terrible cycle of dieting yo-yo!Dr Mailapur was honest and very straight forward. The surgery is a tool! How you use the tool determines the results.Yes, it was a terrifying decision! I’m so thankful that I didn’t back out! My husband suffered a serious automobile accident, a few months before I was scheduled to have surgery. And caring for him during his extended rehab only made me more aware of my own limitations! As soon as he was recovered enough for me to have the surgery, I did! I had surgery on Monday, came home on Tuesday, and in that short time my husband came down with a staph infection! On Wednesday I drove him back to Huntsville Hospital for another surgery, and we were there for a WEEK. Just saying the Bypass wasn’t that painful, all I ever took was Tylenol. But hey, I was kinda busy. LOLYes you’ll have rules you will need to follow to stay hess as healthy. But if you think about it there just common sense! Gonna need to follow up annually with lab work. I’m very happy with Dr Mailapur and his staff. They’ve always been wonderful and supportive.

I started on my weight loss surgery journey after much research and preparation this February. I went in for my consultation and got a surgery date set that day! I was SO NERVOUS as I have never had any surgery before but Dr. Mailapur and Amanda came to see me before hand to ease my mind and assure myself (and my partner!) that everything will be ok. I really felt calm and confident going into surgery because of that.I am now 2 weeks post op and I am SO HAPPY that I made the decision to move forward with sleeve surgery with Dr. Mailapur and Amanda! They are both SO kind, always available to answer questions, and really made me feel prepared and supported through this whole process- they literally become your cheerleaders. I call the office with any questions I have anytime and they are all really there to help you through the process and set you up for success. I really feel like they have helped me turn my life around and for the first time in a long time, I am excited about my future!! If you are thinking about even just setting up a consultation I promise you will not regret it. Dr. Mailapur and his team are truly the best you will ever find! I cant wait to see how my journey progresses as more time passes!!!
