Surgeon TestimonialMark A. Shina M.D.10/5/06 I just realized that its been 2 yrs today since my seminar with Dr Shina. What an amazing 2 years its been. If u r looking for a surgeon and its in any way possible for u to travel to Louisville Ky, I highly recommend Dr Shina. He is just one of the best there is. In all the times I've seen Dr Shina he has been patient, he sits down and talks to me at each visit (check up), he never rushes me, or acts like he's in hurry. The times that I've had to call him after hours he's always called me right back and been very nice and understanding. Although the last night I had to call him could have been avoided if I had thought about it long enough but he was still nice to me and that was one time he shouldn't have been. It was something silly and I got scared but he was still very polite when he called back, it ended up being nothing. I would, and do on a regular basis, recommend Dr Shina to anyone researching this surgery. He and his staff are just the best.
10/5/04 My husband, Adam, and I loved Dr Shina. Well, I have only met him once, but I can't see my impression changing. The office staff today was wonderful. We liked everything about him. He is a wonderful surgeon, I haven't had surgery yet, but just by my first impression I can tell that he is one of the BEST. He doesn't sugar coat anything or pull any punches. We really liked him. Aftercare to him is a top priority and very important. Yes, he does. Yes, he did. So far on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give him and staff a 20. Surgical competence is the most important thing to me, but Dr Shina seems to have that plus a great attitude. I look forward to future visits with him. Member Interests

My dearest Gracie Ann,
my little sweetheart, our little angel,
You are mommy and daddy's beautiful little angel,
Your are Bailey's little guardian angel,
You were a gift from God, given to us on His time, and God must have needed another angel so He brought you
back home to Heaven. I can just imagine u in Heaven, playing with all the other baby angels.
Dancing on the clouds, sliding on rainbows, and being held in the arms of Jesus.
Even though we're hurting so badly we can be comforted knowing that God holds you in His Hands and He carrys us thru these dark days. Oh sweet, baby,
we all love you so much. We will miss you so very much.
U've touched our lives so briefly and yet the pain of losing you hurts us deeply,
Rest in Peace, sweet angel, for your our baby angel.
Love always,
Aunt Ange.....

Love and Hugs

I'm 3 days late on January 13, 2008 9:30 am
As most of u know my DH had a vasectomy reversal on 12/26/07. A week later I was ovulating so we decided to try not expecting anything because it was only a week since his surgery. This month when time got closer for me to start I was starting to get excited, thinking well, its been a month since surgery (by the time I was "supposed" to ovulate) and we were going to try. We realize that it can take time and we're fine with that. I was actually pretty excited about my period starting since we were going to be trying this month. Ok, I was supposed to start this past Friday. I haven't yet and I'm never late. I have not been stressing, I've been fairly happy go lucky and just playing it by ear. I did take a home pg test this am and it was neg. But with my prior 2 pg's (I miscarried my first) I tested neg the first time I tested and only tested positive after I was more than a week late. So if I haven't started by this weekend I'm going to test again. I wasn't stressing but its starting to bug me. I don't want to get excited. If I'm not pg then I wish my period would just start so we can try and get pg. Oh well, its in God's Hands and I'm confident and positive that it'll all work out in His time.
Hugs
Angela & Adam

I am so scared!!! on January 12, 2008 4:14 pm
I went ahead last Tues (today is Sat) and took a pg test. It was negative. My period was "supposed" to start yesterday. It hasn't yet. I am half wanting to go buy a test and half scared too lol. I know as soon as I run out and buy one I'll start. I'm hoping that if I don't start tomorrow I'll talk myself into going and buying a EPT lol.

Am I??? Maybe, maybe not....:) on January 7, 2008 1:24 pm
Most of u know my DH had his vas reversal 12/26 and that 5-8 days later I was O'ing and he wanted to so we bd 3 days in a row. I personally don't think I'm pregnant. I don't feel pregnant, but I realize if God stepped in I could have gotten pg one of those 3 days. I wish!!! But I've also had some sinus drainage the past couple of days and thats more than likely whats making me nauseous and feeling like I've got a upset tummy. When I was pg with my daughter I never actually threw up, I was just nauseous alot at first. My period is due this weekend and its never late so we'll see. I don't think we'll see anything but my period and thats ok. If not this month we'll keep trying...Just thought I'd share that I was nauseous lol. First time I've been half excited over being nauseous even though I KNOW I'm not.
Hugs and have a great day guys, I've got a Christmas Tree to take down.

My Story
Hi, my name is Angela. I am 27 yrs old. I am married to a wonderful man named Adam. I have a 10 yr old stepson named James and a 2 yr old daughter named Allison, next to God my husband and kids are the most important things in my life. I have been overweight since I was 5 yrs old. I have been waging a war with my weight that so far has lasted 22 yrs with me being on the losing side. I have tried different diets thru the years anything from Slim Fast, Weight Watchers Meals, to watching my cal and fat intake all the while walking up to a mile a day. I have high blood pressure and I am on medication for it. I also have preasthma, but am not on meds for that as of yet. I have back, knee, joint, and feet pain alot. Its hard for me to walk very fast or upstairs, I get out of breath so easily. I want so bad to be able to run and play with my kids, go out with my husband dancing or bowling and not be self conscious of myself. I have very low self esteem, my self confidence is zilch. I love myself cause God made me who I am, but I don't like the way I am. I am not happy with me, the way I look or the way I feel. I want this surgery so bad,its is like an answer to a life long dream for me as I know it is for a lot of people who want this surgery. I know there are risk with this surgery, but I feel like God will be with me and take care of me. I guess my biggest fear right now is not being approved thru our insurance co. I am going on Sept 9 to have a sleep apnea test and then Sept 17 to have a check up on the blood pressure and retest my sugar levels that were high last time. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I appreciate any and all prayers. Email me anytime and I will get back to u. If u have aol add me to your BL and IM me sometime. I am starving for more info on this surgery. Pending on the results of my sleep apnea test and how my sugar level is, I will be making an appt the end of this month with surgeon, Dr. Mark Shina in Louisville, Ky. Thanks for your support....
