My Band was done by Dr Marema, Supposevily the BEST DR in Fla. The first time he sent me home with a Hematoma, which should have been recoginized and FIXED during surgery. 6 months later with a bleeding stomach and infections of which I could have died he redid a 2nd operation ( to my expense) to move the port to the other side. (of which he forgot to tell me does not work as well as the original side.) Months later when I was in excruciating pain,did I find out it had in fact broken in half, flipping my colon in half, bursting my appendix along the way, did I pay for a 3rd operation to have it removed. ($60.000 later, It is noones fault!!) They offered to do the Gastric bypass (which I could pay again) but I figured they would kill me on that one!! So Iam now back where I started!! They should be held accountable!!! I'm sure there is an attorney somewhere that could make alot of $$$ from these crooks!!
