I had a wonderful experience there. Good nurses, excellent doctor and wonderful techs! They were very good to me and my Mom who stayed with me as well.

I was in very good hands at St V's. This hospital performs more bariatric surgeries than any other in the world! They take precautions, before and after surgery, against the risk of blood clots also. I am happy that I had such a wonderful hospital when I had WLS.

Kim at the Bariatric Center was very helpful on the phone. The office staff was very nice and answered all my questions.

It's 11/5 and my letter was just sent today! Colleen, from Dr. Inman's office said she was months behind in sending them out!!!!!

It is 12/5 now and apparently the insurance company has all the information they need now thanks to Lisa at the Bariatric Center. She provided them with the last piece of information they needed. Colleen at Dr. Inman's office has not been very helpful. She hasn't been very friendly either. Now I am dealing with Vicky, she is very down to the point but much friendlier than Colleen.

Dr. Inman is the greatest. She is very down to earth, caring and helpful.

04/22/02 So far, Dr. Inman has been great. Her entire staff has been helpful in getting my surgery approved. I didn't have to do any of the footwork that I have heard of others doing. Dr. Inman is straight forward and goes straight to the point. There's no sugar coating when she speaks. I can respect that! During my counsultation, she was quick yet percise. She has a very structured aftercare program that is manditory for 1 year. I will see the nutriousist and attend group (all cost included in the cost of surgery). I will keep posting with each interaction.

Marty S. for Margaret Inman

(The following information is my personal impression regarding my own experiences and should not be used by anyone for their own decision about weight loss surgeryor their own health.): Dr. Margaret Inman is my surgeon. I have met with her once at my initial consultation. I am very impressed with her self-confidence, knowledge,caring attitude and overall spirit. She is a very caring and detailed educator in the initial consult. All risks and surgery information was covered in a group setting and then I met with her one to one (Only a few minutes). I would rate her a 9 out of 10(only because I have not had the surgery yet). Her attitude is very positive(good for a surgeon) and she explained everything in detail. She is in the St. Vincent Bariatric Weight Loss Center in Carmel, IN. The Hospital is very nice and all the Bariatric staff are helpful and sensitive to large people.The before and after care program is very structured and required for you to become a potential patient. Which is really important to me because I want a program that has follow through. They have group support meetings once a week.I have been to 3 so far and they are great! And mandatory follow up with nutricianists, group support meetings,Doctor appointments and lab work-ups after surgery. I really like this approach because it will just mean more support for me in using this surgery "tool" successfully. And be able to maintain the weight loss in the long run. The chairs in the waiting room are big with chair arms!! I have not had the surgery yet but I feel I have an excellent surgeon in Dr. Inman.

Barbara S. for Margaret Inman

Very professional, knows her subject well!
Somewhat standoffish at first. Respect her and her abilities. Very caring toward her surgery patients. Office staff helpful and they try to process info in a timely manner,
although this can become difficult with the amount of people wanting this surgery.
Future patients should expect a very long process from calling for consult to actual surgery date. As stated before Dr. Inman is very good and many want surgery. The aftercare with Dr. Inman is excellant follow
ups at different stages as well as if anything seems out of the ordinary a patient can contact the office and get quick result if a problem seems relevant. The aftercare is very structured along with seeing Dr. Inman for follow up you see a dietician the same day.
The risks involved with surgery were presented in a understandable manner. No holds barred you might say. Her track record was also given.
I rate her excellant from what I have observed and learned the past year. I expect to find out soon myself when I have my surgery.
A fully rounded surgeon is best in my book. although they may have a somewhat dry bedside manner, competency in their work will make for a quicker recovery.

The nursing staff was excellent. The nurses were pleasant no matter what I requested. They had beds and chairs that fully accomodated me.

Very pleasant stay except for one individual that took an extreme dislike to me.
