Do you mean Dr. Gomez, the bariatrician? I saw her in February.

I liked her she takes time to talk with you and seems to care. She focuses more on your diet and nutrition needs. Dr. Inman is a surgeon, once you are healed she really cannot do much more for you, that is why she is using Dr. Gomez for patient follow-up. She has you fill out questions regarding your diet and health issues, they weigh you (including analyzing your fat%), she goes over your labs results, and answers any questions you may have. If you are having problems with regain or nutritional/vitamin deficiency than she will address those issues.  

I was not happy when I found out that I was not going to see Dr. Inman again, but once I met Dr. Gomez and thought about the reasoning behind the change, I felt better about the change. You may want to bring a copy of your labs she did mention that they were not always getting them sent in a timely manner from Dr. Inman's office.

Topic: RE: Meridian Surgical Group/ St Vincent's Carmel
I personally did not have so many problems with the office before my surgery and working with them to get it approved.  I feel very fortunate after reading about so many other people's struggles!

However, I was really surprised that after my surgery, my first follow up appointment was scheduled for 6 weeks following my surgery!  I would have thought the first appointment would have been within a week or two.  Then once I got there, because there was some high maintenence individual before me that went way over their appointment time, my appointment started almost 45 minutes late and then I only talked to Dr. Inman for 5-10 minutes and I was out of there.  I felt so rushed, I forgot to ask so many questions because I was so flustered.  I still don't know what the doctor's target goal weight for me is!  Don't doctors usually give you a target weight?  I've seen that from other people on the messages boards here for my surgery. 

Anyway, I think that they are way overscheduled and actually cannot handle all of the patients they are accepting.  Yes, we all want to make more money, and more patients = more $$, but if the office can't provide appropriate service and care, I really feel like they should consider reducing the amount of new patients they accept until they can catch up.
