Surgeon Testimonial

Robert T. Marema M.D.
My surgeon is Dr. Robert Marema in St. Augsutine, FL. He is wonderful. He is also a bariatric patient himself so he has a good understanding of what we are going through. rnDr. Marema also did my husband's gastric by pass last November 2007 and has lost 155 lbs.rnDr. Marema is the best! He has a good bedside manner and is rated one of the top surgeons. rnCheck out www.flaglerhospital.org to find out more about Dr. Marema. He has seminars every week and once a month a great support group. His patients are well taken care of!rnrn

Nausea
on November 15, 2008 7:54 am

I had the "sleeve" on September 29, 2008.  No probelms with the surgery.  Went in Monday and got out Tuesday.  I'm almost 7 weeks out and have lost 45 lbs.  Sometimes I have issues with food.  Breakfast is fine and so is lunch, but the time dinner rolls around, I can't stand the thought of food or taking my pills.  I usually feel nauseated.  I feel this way even just thinking of food.  I only hope that this will soon pass.  I can't stand the smell of foods cooking sometimes and have no taste for food. 
Does anyone have any informtion that could help me get through this?    I need some friends. 
Also, I'd like to hear from other people who have had the sleeve too.
Thanks,
Dena
