"I was thrilled to be able to choose a surgeon with so much experience with bariatric procedures. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Dr. Marema as he is the one of 2 surgeons that performs the Spider Sleeve procedure. Future patients need to know that he understands where you are as he openly shares on the website that he has also had a bariatric procedure and he skillfully chooses a team that will respect and support you through your weight loss journey. My experience with Dr. Marema and team provide the most amazing health care experience I have ever had. I have been a patient at very high profile medical centers...Vanderbilt in TN, Mayo in Mn, and Allegheny General in Pittsburgh and I have never received the competent and quality care that I received from the US Bariatric group in Orlando and the surgical team based in St Augustine at Flagler Hospital. The only true negative that I can honestly say is that the nausea I experienced post op is something that is hard to comprehend and prepare for only something that you understand when you experience it. I had no complications a quick recovery and my only regret that I hadn't discovered this sooner."
