Margaret Inman
"I met with Dr. Inman on December 11, 2000. First we met in a group setting. It was immediately apparent, no question was off limits. Dr. Inman and St. Vincent's had an excellent support staff at the meeting. They made certain my husband and I felt totally comfortable and relaxed. She did an excellent job of explaining the various methods of WLS. She provided visual aids to help me understand the different processes that were available. She discussed the causes of obesity. She discussed those causes that are beyond our control as well as those that ARE under our control. The doctor discussed the possible risks as they relate to the surgery. I went in understanding most of these things, but I also understand the risk associated with staying the way I am. She explained that WLS is merely a tool. But, she did explain is could be a permanent solution to my life-long problem. After the group session Dr. Inman met with each of us (who were still interested) on a one on one basis. She allowed me sufficient time to get answers to any questions I had that would apply only to me. I had several questions, due to some existing medical conditions. I found Dr. Inman to be very knowledgable and straight-forward. This is an important character trait to me. I require this, far more than I do a good bedside manner. Give me competence and self-assuredness any day! Dr. Inman is also an experienced trauma surgeon. This could come in handy! Dr. Inman stressed the importance of St. Vincent's aftercare program. I for one am looking forward to the support meetings she discussed."
