"I have an appointment with Dr. Inman on November 26th, it was the soonest I could get in. I have heard good and positive things about Dr. Inman and her staff at St. V's Bariatric Center, so I am hoping that I will be able to get my questions answered and to be able to go through with this. I know it can be an emotional rollercoaster while waiting for approval and such, so I will work on making it a positive experience for me.
I met with Dr. Inman on November 26th and was impressed with her energy and honesty. She answered a lot of questions and treated me respectfully. Even though this surgery is very risky, I feel more at ease because she is a trauma surgeon and deals with emergencies all the time. As for dealing with my personal issues (co-morbities) relating to weight loss surgery, she suggested a vena cava filter to be put in my vein to block blood clots, which is an important thing with me since I have coagulation problems. I was comfortable with her professional manner; she is an intense woman and I expect she will be just as intense as a surgeon. "
