Any Louisville, KY RNY patients?

Hi I just want to see if there is any people in Louisville on here, that is pre-op or post-op, it would be nice to communicate. Tori

Tori, I had my surgery in Louisville, KY. I live in Grayson though. Are you having the surgery? If so, who are you going to?

Hey Tori... I live in shelbyville... right outside of louisville... i had surgery on feb. 26th by mark shina... i am home!! i will help you anyway i can just let me know! carol

I am from Owensboro, KY. I wanted to use Dr. Bolar in Lexington but my insurance (Humana) does not have a contract with him so I would have to pay 40% of the total bill and I don't have that kind of money. I've been told about Dr. Shina. What can you tell me from your experience with him and the hospital?

tori, dr. shina is the most detailed dr. i have ever seen!! which at times is so frustrating but in the end he is loking out for you! he postponed my surgery once i was so upset but as he said to me "odds are nothing will happen but i will not chance your life". i have a 3 year old and living was the whole reason for this surgery. he is just the absolute best in this area. the hospital is average... i had a friend or a family member with at all times so i did well. i think if you have someone stay with you you will fine too. dr. shina has been doing this for quite a while he is not someone that learned in a weekend.. he trained under one of the best bariatric surgeons there is... he will tell you all of this. go to one of his seminars... if you want that does not commit you to anything. good luck tori...anymore questions ask away... i am here now to help all pre-ops!! carol

I believe Dr. Bolar is going to participate with Humana, and all other insurance companies by next month.

Hi, I just had my first consultation appointment with Dr. Shina on 3/9. I live in Radcliff. I'm nervous but excited. Sharon
