Hi!

Hi! My name is Mary and I am just starting on my WLS journey. I have my first appointment with Dr. Margaret Inman tomorrow at 12:45 at St. Vincents Carmel Hospital. I would love to make some friends and hear about other peoples experiences. I am very scared about surgery but also very determined to do anything it takes to be able to have the surgery. I am on Medicare with Medicaid as my secondary. If anyone has had the surgery and is on Medicare I would love to hear about how hard or easy it was for you to get approved. Thanks!

Hi, my name is Linda Vicory, and I am having surgery on Tuesday with Dr. Inman! I just thought she was wonderful at the consultation. I went to more than one and selected her. I bet you will like her. Linda

Hi linda. I wish you lots of luck with your surgery Tuesday, I will keep you in my prayers. And thanks for the comment about Dr. Inman, I am very excited but also scared.Good luck again hun! Mary

Oh, I think it's normal to have apprehension. This is after all a major life change, a major surgery. I'm getting nervous about Tuesday. I'm just trying to visualize everything going well, and me coming out of surgery happy and healthy. Linda Vicory

Mary: You will be on the losing side soon! Best Wishes to you for your surgery and a speedy recovery. Dr Inman is wonderful! You will be in good hands. "hugs" Claudette

Hi Mary - You will love Dr. Inman. She operated on my daughter Dec 21,2005 and will do my surgery on Dec. 20 this year. She and her staff are fantastic. Good luck! Karen

My sister had Dr Inman and to hear her tell it there is none better... but then she didnt have dr Cacucci... or get to look in Dr Evensons big beautiful eyes..etc.. the one that actually DOES your surgery is usually the BEST ONE IN THE UNIVERSE!! (cept Dr E IS the cute one). Surgery saved my life and my sanity!! Best of luck for a quick SAFE journey. Linda

Hi Mary nice to read ya! LOL I too was nervous and scared, but all worked out for me. I was very ill and needed to have surgery right away, so my approval was quick and painless. I wish everyone could have such luck. I have heard so many great things about your doctor! I bet you will love her! Let us know what you think and how it goes today! I will be looking forward to getting to know you! Welcome, Carmen

HI back at ya and welcome.....you found a bunch of losers and wanna be losers here...stick around and you should hear some of everything....

Good Luck Mary! The first appointment is the easiest! The group at St. V's are awesome!! Sam
