Anybody have complications with Dr. Marema?



Recommended Posts

Curious. If you had any complications what were they and was it resolved? How did his team treat you during the recovery?

i did not have your doctor - but just to let you know-i had severe complications (recently learning that i really almost died)....surgery in TJ. my kaiser here was great- no issues with taking care of me- surgeries, diagnotstics, outpatient follow up (still have j tube feeding tube).....so i have no concerns with my post op care and i am a nurse so i have high expectations of care even though i do not recall a lot of my time spent in the hospital which is a blessing i am told! so focus on the positive - you are likely not to be the 1%!!!! happy journey!

Thanks for taking the time to respond it really helps. I'm finding quote a few people on this site who had complications so I'm starting to think1% it's a little higher than we think

I have. Still am. Not impressed with post op care at all! I've been "down" on 24/7 care since Jan 11 after 12 days in hospital. Surgery was 12/21.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
