Luciano A. DiMarco
" Feb. 1,2001 I met Dr. DiMarco today. I am very happy with today's visit. I did not feel self conscious, I was very relaxed. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Dr. Dimarco explained the procedure and told me what to expect before during and after surgery. His manner is very kind , friendly and easy to talk to. He sounds very thorough. Very professional.Dr. Dimarco explained the risk of "leakage" but checks twice (by injecting dye before leaving the O.R. and barium swallow before leaving the hospital.) If it occurs he would repair it right away. He's only had 2 cases of leakage in 4 yrs of this surgery. He will do the surgery on a Friday and I will go home the following Monday. His office will send the necessary papers to my insurance. I will recieve a call when approval is sent and we will then set up pre-op and surgery dates. Pre-op :Gallbladder ultrasound & EGD to check gall bladder and make sure there are no surprises in the stomach. If gall stones are present he will remove the gall bladder at the same time the gastric bypass is being done. I also need to see dietician before and after surgery. After surgery he wants to see you after 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. He warned me that I would have to wait probably till the end of March or April. He only does 2-3 of these a week. I'm anxious to get the ball rolling. My surgery was March 23, 2001. All went very well. I've had no problems. I would say Dr. Dimarco did a great job! "
