"Meeting Dr Robert Marema and his staff on November 29th for the informational meeting from 6-7 pm. Will let you know how it goes and when my surgery is.
NOV 30th: The meeting was great! Very informative and encouraging. Just seeing the Dr and what he looks like now after losing weight (and his skinny staff) was worth the trip. I mean these people were BONES!! LOL...I guess you could say "goal weight" But to think you don't have to settle for just "not too fat", but "skinny" is possible. WOW WOW WOW!!! Also I got to meet some great ladies from OSSG list Im on, Candace and Jean. I hope we can get it done at the same time so we can comiserate together via the web. I will keep you posted on my progress after Dec 21st meeting.
Dec 21st: The office visit went well. The staff is nice and so is Dr M. I was told that I need to get a blood test and pych done before they could schedule surgery. Right now they are booked until mid Feb, so Im thinking it will be late Feb 2000 for me. I am going to start working Dec 22 on getting these test done so I can get a date ASAP. I just really want the finality of knowing a certain date, not being in limbo! I should hear back from the dr. ofc next week or so with a date for meeting the dietician. I will keep you all posted!
Feb 10th: Only 8 days until surgery! AHHH its so close! I have been to the dr. several times and I really like them.
Overall I would recommend this dr and his staff to anyone looking.
