EXCELLENT! Nurse staff was great and they make you get up and walk often so it decreases the amount of pain you have.

there were 3 very caring nurses - the rest were just average and putting in their time and treated you like just another number

vicki S. for Margaret Inman

well i have met with Dr Inman , she is awsome .. she shoots stright from the hip about the surgery and makes sure your very informed.everyone at her office has been wonderful as far as asnwering questions , they seem to really care about what there doing. its not JUST a job to them..Dr.Inman is very tight on the aftercare program, told me if your not 100% commited it wont work... her after care program is very detailed , i look forward to going to my visits after surgery..she was very helpful when i had questions as far as the risk goes. her death rate is less then .02% and hey if you ask me thats awsome.. as far as doctors go, i would give Dr.Inman a 10....

Carolyn K. for Ascension St. Vincent - Carmel Bariatrics

I felt that St. V was very prepared to accommodate me and my needs. The preop testing was very well organized and everyone who helped me knew what I was there for. Accommodations for obese patients were great. (Big chairs, big gowns, etc.)

The bariatric center did an excellent job of pre op nutrition training. It left very little for me to question as to exactly what I should have or could have before and after surgery. They have dietitians who are very readily available by e-mail or voice mail for before surgery and after surgery. (It was mentioned that they would be available for the rest of my life if needed) I will visit a dietitian with every post op visit to my Dr.

The care in the hospital was very good. To some extent I felt since I did so well and had family members there most of the time, the staff was not as attentive to me. But they were very busy; many surgeries were taking place daily. I got along great with no problems. I had surgery late on Monday afternoon and was discharged on Wednesday am. It was expected that I would walk every 2 hours and use my spirometer every hour. They have a "lap" board in the hall to tally the number of times walked in the hall during the visit. That was a real incentive to walk. My husband checked that to be sure I was walking even when he was not there.

I would encourage anyone in the area to check out St. Vincent’s in Carmel as they research for bariatric surgery.

L D. for Margaret Inman

The initial consult with Dr. Inman was in a group setting. She was very matter-of-fact and did not dance around any issues. She explained the surgery, its benefits and it's risks very thoroughly. I never got to speak with her on on one before the surgery, but was reassured by the number of these surgeries she has performed and only one death out of over 3500 people. The surgery was uneventful and she explained the procedure again before surgery. I have had a uneventful surgery and am progressing nicely. The aftercare program at St. Vincent's is one of the top in the nation. I would recommend this Surgeon and program highly.

Absolutely terrific. I had complications (unrelated directly to the surgery) and ended up in the hospital for 12 days. They were absolutely terrific about doing their best to reduce my pain and help me recover. They were sterling.

Overall a very good experience. The only thing I didn't like was having to walk from pre-op into the actual surgery room and climb up on the table while seeing all the instruments they would use during the surgery.

Sharon W. for Margaret Inman

I had a friend from work who spoke so highly about Dr Inman. After the consultation visit I knew this is the Dr for me. Everything went smoothly for me. Dr Inmans staff did all the work for me. I was approved after my first letter sent to my insurance. My surgery with Great no complatations at all.(As long as I dont eat or drink I shouldnt).Dr Inman does stress about how important it is to exerise after surgery. Before surgery I was very well informed of all the risks. I would highly recomend her and her staff to anyont thinking of having this surgery. She was both surgically competente and had a Great bedside manner.
