"i used robert marema, md. i investigated him thoroughly and checked out his reputation with people in the medical field. i liked the fact that he was board certified and operated out of an excellent hospital. at the time i approached him, he did not do a lot of the bariatric surgeries. he was a general surgeon. i also liked the fact that at the time he had a weight problem himself and wouldnt just tell me to control myself. i absolutely adore him. he is one of the finest human beings i have met in addition to being a great surgeon. he loves all people and has a loving way of approaching people. he is the only surgeon that i would let touch any of my family or anyone that i cared about. i cant think of any doctor that i hold in higher esteem and i would not hesitate to recomend him to anyone. he himself has had the surgery and knows what all his patients go through. i originally had a vbg which was a failure. i later had a revision. i have not had any trouble related to the surgery other than the occassionaly "dumping" "
