Surgeon Testimonial

Mark A. Shina, M.D.
My first impression was in October, to be honest i was not inpressed at all, so i went to other seminars. Today 1-23-07 i went back for a second try with Dr.Shina, today my opinion changed, he was funny and spent lots of time with us today. rnHis staff is wonderful, Jamie (a friend of mine) and Holly go beyond nice.

    Hi all. As I had posted on the Main Board and Kentucky Board a couple days ago. Missy came through surgery fine. I talked to her hubby again today and he said she did get to come home today. GO MISSY! You will be just fine. I am still praying for you!

    Hello Missy.. I hope you are doing great. I got out today and hopefully I will run into you again. I didn't run into you at the hospital but I am going to pray for you and hopefully you are feeling great and ready to go home soon.. Bethany

Still not loosing weight...
on September 21, 2007 7:54 pm

Well its been about 2 weeks, and still only 1 1/2 lbs lost. I am getting very frustrated... I need to quit weighing at work...I am feeling pretty good.Had a vomiting all day episode Wednesday, thought oh no..but I guess it was the stomach flu that is going around. 
   Work was good today, everyone at work is so proud of me, or at least they act like they are...I snacked at work today and thats what I was afraid of doing... Well there is always tomorrow .

Until next time,
Missy
