Surgeon Testimonial

Mark A. Shina M.D.
I am so glad to have found Dr. Shina. He seems to know exactly what he is doing! I can't wait to have my surgery. It won't be long now! Dr. Shina is a very nice man, and knows how to work a room! He had us laughing during the seminar, and that made me and my DH feel at ease.

Two months gone..how about an update!
Well, things have really been happening in the past two months........some for the better, and some for the worse.  On the home front, Jimmy and I have stayed together.  It has been a rough time, but he is doing much better.  We are on a new time-period in our life, and we are very happy too.  We have been going thru everything, and getting it out in the open, so nothing is hidden.  All in all, we are more like the old couple we used to be many years ago.  Happy again!  I am so much happier about this too, and I know he is too.

Jimmy also has finally found a job.  Just yesterday, he was hired at our local Sonic resturaunt.  He is going to be doing manager training, and eventually become a manager.  He is so excited to be working again!  That will help us out so much too.  I had gone to swing shift just 3 weeks ago, but I haven't been able to get adjusted to the time, and now with him working nights, I will need to go back to day shift.  I would much rather work days anyway, so keep your fingers crossed that I will be able to go.  I certainly hope so.

As far as me personally........I have lost a total of 125 pounds!  I went to my dr for my 6 month check up and I have reached his goal!  Not a bad accomplishment, especially in 6 months!  He was very pleased with how well I am doing.  I am just on my vitamins, and thats it!  I am getting plenty of protein in, and fluids too, so I am really feeling great!  I am now in pants size 10 and 12, just depending on how they are made.  Tops are size Med to Large.  Talk about a difference in how I look! LOL  My face is so thinner, and I look great!  I don't have any sagging skin on my face or neck.  I only have excess skin problems on my stomach, thighs, and arms.   I am hoping to be able to have PS sometime next year.  I have alot to save up for that, but eventually I will be able to do it.  I will persevere. 

Nothing else much going on.  I am ready for the next chapter in my life.........my daughters starting school again.  They will be back in school in two weeks, so that will give me time to get back to the gym and back on my work-out schedule.  I have missed going to the gym.  I really NEED to! LOL

Well, enough of my blogging and updates.  Take care and I will try to update this more often!  No promises, but I will try!
