Mark A. Shina, M.D. What can I say? He rocks! The humor is there if you search for it, but above and beyond the man knows his stuff. Isn't that the best reason to pick a surgeon?
Thank goodness!!!! The drain tube is out. I have to say that's been one of the high points of the last couple of weeks. They took all of my staples out as well, and said I'm doing great. The doctor walked out of my room saying "Don't forget ...meat and cheese, meat and cheese, meat and cheese. It can't get any more basic than that!".
Since my journey began I've lost approximately 37 lbs. I hit my first goal today weighing less than 300 lbs. Yeah me! I've decided I'm going to do this in increments of 25, so my next goal is to be below 275.

Hi I am another of Dr Shina's patients. He is the best!
Just continue to follow his instructions and you will do fine. If you can try to attend the Weight Loss Seminars at Suburban on the 4th Thursday of the month. (I think) You can get a lot of info there and the group is really nice. You will get lots of both good and bad info from this web site so just continue to trust Dr Shina and his wonderful staff. Also, if you have any food or supplement questions call the Nutritionist from the hospital that gave you a card after surgery. They give the best answers. Are you now clear for regular food? I was so happy when that happened. I am not just over 3 months out and I eat whatever I want with no problems. Except I only get about 1/4 of what I use to eat. Yeah! By the way I love doxies! Are they miniatures, short hair or long? Bye-Martha
