Dr. Atul Madan - Has anyone if he is a good dr.



Recommended Posts

Dr Madan is an excellent surgeon and the only one I would let touch me. He did my surgery 10/21/11. I feel great and I am doing well. He checks on me often. He is a very caring MD. I did my research on him, and as a nurse I am very picky. He has an excellent record and a great bedside manner. He really cares about his patients and would never make a choice to jeopardize their well being. Dont believe everything you read on the internet. Especially from the LA Times. Every surgery has its mortaliity rates and this surgery is no different. There are risks. Dr Madan has literally performed thousands of this surgery and he is the best in my opinion! I recommend him absolutely.

Hi I had surgery on Dec 7th 2010 and he was my surgeon ! I believe you may be thinking of Dr George Tashjian, Yes he has a death on his record not sure what came of it! I first went to Dr T as they call him in the Covina office! My first meeting was not pleasant, He is arrogant and rude! I went home and spoke to Armando who was/ is my weight loss consultant! I told him To get me a new Dr! By the time surgery was coming they had changed me to Atul Madan i did my research and was excited to see he was my Doctor! I didn't meet him until my surgery day but I was 100% confident in him! Couldn't be happier with the outcome and I go for my first fill at the end of January! ;)

Please email me personally and I can help you with this situation. I had the same situation. krystieserrano@gmail.com

Did anyone have trouble getting their surgery date after the insurance approval. I'm a dr madan patient and the weight loss center people are ry dragging their feet. I have been approved since august and they haven't even called me to set up my pre op. I need some direction.

I was banded by Dr. Madan in 2012 and he is a great , knowlegable Doctor, and he does care about his patients I have lost a 100 lbs and I will be getting another fill on June 4th , I go to the Costa Mesa office to get my fills and weigh in , also I like the fact that I could ncan call or text him at anytime with any concerns and he works with my schedule because my schedule is a variable schedule , he also did one of my x coworkers band so it took me 2 yrs. to decide , also if there are any concerns about what is taking so long , then you should and ask him if he can check in to it for you , but lie I said my coworker has lost a lot and so have I , I really reccomend him and yes I read up on the bad good and in between and made the decision for my self and not anyone else and I also like that he doesn't judge you , but he will help you and he is gentle , also I was only in the hospital overnight and back home the next day , so call or text him a short message if you have saw him already to ask him what is taking so long , unless you have to wait on other tings or phone calls, for this to happen and please don't forget to ask about the pre op and post op instructions as these are important to your weight loss, good luck to you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
