Hello,

In was wondering if anyone has had surgery with Dr. Robert Marema in St. Augustine Florida.

He has a lot of experience and is a surgeon of excellence, but since I have not met him yet, I would love to hear about peoples experiences with him and his staff.

Hi there!

I live in Jax. I did decide to go with Dr. Marema. I am a volume eater and I am sick and tired of being hungry, so 1 pound a week is my goal. I lost 4 pounds the first month but not doing too good this month. My appointment is on the 17th so I need to buckle down.

I am using myfitnesspal.com. Check it out. When I plugged in that I wanted to lose 1 pound a week, the daily calories are not bad at all. My problem are the food funerals I am having. :lol:

How long is your DSWL? Mine is 3 months. I am hoping to have surgery next month. You?

Best wishes to you too!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
