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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
