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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
