Dr. Shina and Dr.Geller in Louisville..please share experiences!

I am having a consult with Dr.Shina Tuesday..just wondering what they are like..did anyone have them for their surgery? Thanks in advance!

Hi Shannon! I went to the seminar and consult last week with Dr. Geller. He was very down to Earth and personable. I was surprised to find out that he is also overweight which makes him more understanding of obesity. Are you thinking about the lap band or the GBS? As of now, I'm leaning toward the lap band since it is less invasive and I'm a total chicken!! Let me know if you have any questions. I've spent alot of time in the last couple of weeks researching WLS and I would love to help! Charles

Hi Shannon I will also be having a consult Tuesday w/Dr. Shina. I'm to be there at 9:00am. I have been to one of the seminar's already and he tells it like it is but very nice. Krystal Wilson

Good Morning I LOVE Dr. Shina!! Many people think he is hard-core. I like the fact that he is honest and DOES NOT sugar-coat the facts. Something I like in a person. I want the facts the "real" info. This is a MAJOR surgery. You could die! But would I do it again?? OH YEAH!! I can not begin to tell you how much better my quality of life is. Go with an open mind. If you can take someone with you, do. You are going to receive a great deal of very important information. If you have ANY questions let me know. Blessings Tonya

Shannon, He is a GREAT surgeon !!! I have had NO problems since surgery (12-6-04) and the office staff will do what they can to help you. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Shina and his staff. Shirlene Wright
