I was sleeved with Dr. Marema in Dr. Koppman's practice. I had a great experience! My sleeve date was 09/16. (I am a slow loser, only 55 pounds - I am not keeping up with exercising as I should, but it was so worth it just to keep my eatting under control.) The day after my surgery I had tremendous naseau (it turns out in post-op the anesthesia team should have given me a patch behind the ear.) Dr. Koppman saw me on his rotation and had a lovely, caring bedside manner. He made sure the nurses stuck a patch on me immediately. The hospital is lovely - you get a great view which really helps you get out of bed to get your walking in after surgery. You can call to get help from the staff anytime. Dr. Koppman and Dr. Marema's office are super supportive.
