She was very kind and caring, and compared bariatric surgery to a tumor by saying, "If you have a tumor and you have two treatment options, one is to get it removed by surgery or two to have 6 mos of chemotherapy, would people consider you to be taking the easy way out if you choose to have the surgery?" I thought this was a fabulous example, and impressed me right away.
Yes the visit was brief, but very thorough, and she was compassionate. I can see why she is the best around. Her job is to help as many of us as possible, not become personal friends with each one of us. I am very pleased with her.
POST-OP:
Still great, and though I did have a complication it was not her fault. It was the preventive lovenox she gives to prevent blood clots that made me keep bleeding slowly after she closed-up. I am just glad that she and Dr. Gupta were competent enough to know they needed to take me back to surgery again. No surgeon can guarantee you will not have a complication. And not all surgeons are competent enough to recognize when you are in trouble early enough to safe your life.
She explained in layman's terms that were easy to understand. I had asked a man who his surgeon was so I asked for her. I have since heard very good things about her. The information is clear and concise. They do not make you feel inferior. The paperwork was handled just as I was told in the firt consult. She really read my whole history and requested I see a pulmonologist before the surgery since I had stated I had blood clots from birth control pills in the late 60's. That made me feel she is very thorough and careful. She will have me in after care for 1 year at least and has advised me to converse often with fellow wt loss surgery patients online or in my home town. She alerted us to the risks associated with this surgery but just living as a morbidly obese person is a risk. The surgery is worth taking in my circumstance. Surgical competence is more important regarding the surgeon as I think the hospital staff will be the ones most caring for me following surgery.
Dr. Rosie is fabulous and she really cares about her patients. Her office is very busy but the staff still seem to care about each patient.
When I first considered surgery for weight loss, I met with my PCP for advise. He recommended that I investigate St. Vincent's Hospital in Carmel, Indiana, three hours drive from my home, because the clinic was a "state of the art" facility and program. I am very glad I took his advise! I made a few phone calls and made an appointment for an educational class about RNY surgery and a private meeting with Dr. RoseMarie Jones. Dr. Jones is an outstanding surgeon. When I first met her, I asked how many RNY surgeries she had performed. She said that she stopped counting at three thousand! I had my LAP RNY surgery six months ago and do not regret my decision to have the surgery at all. Dr. Jones has described to me how she "individualizes" her surgery for each patient in order to give each patient the best surgery possible. Whatever she did to "individualize" my surgery worked! I have lost over 100 pounds so far and have not experienced horrible side effects of the surgery such as the "dumping syndrome" that I have read about. I highly recommend Dr. Jones to anyone who is considering WLS.
I have the utmost confidence in Rose Marie Jones. She emits confidence, she has been doing this for 15 years, no one has ever died and she has compassion for you.
The staff is somewhat understaffed in regards to insurance and you have to do a lot of the steps and keep in close contact. The office continues to grow and they may need a tad more clerical help!!
If you want someone with lots of experience, a hospital program that is especially for the obese patient, and compassion, check out Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones is the greatest. I would rate her a 10/10. She has a very personable presentation - is willing to listen and answer any questions you have - but has a very organized approach so that most of your questions are answered beforehand. She and her office staff went out of their way to accomodate my needs since I was coming from out of state. The surgery went off without a hitch. Was up walking the same day. My post op visit was 5 days after surgery - at which time she removed the drain. No problems or complications at all. Anyone would be blessed to choose Dr. Jones. I would rater her a 10/10. She works hand in hand with the bariatric center at St. Vincent's Carmel. The only drawbacks I noted was that the chairs at the bariatric center were very wide with arms... so all apples would be accomodated nicely - but me - with my pear shaped behind - felt the pinch. They should have some options available. The hospital itself was VERY fat friendly with a variety of seating from the lobby to the private rooms. A variety of beds too - depending on the need of the patient. Dr. Jones office is also not the most fat friendly. The weighting area was fine. However, the clinic room... had one of those tall tables with a tiny lil stool with no handles. No way I could have climbed up there. She did have a long wide bench in the room - so I sat there to have my tube removed. Still - I think she should have either a lower tx table or a different type of stool to get up on the table. They have a nurses line and a dieticians line so you can call for help - plus you can email each dietician directly. The nurses at the hospital were great - Samantha was the best. The aides were good as well. Very friendly, professional and helpful!
