Antonio Coirin
" 1-29-08 I am posting this because if it wasn't for Dr. Coirin and his wonderful staff, I would still be sitting on the fence trying to decide what to do.. Thank you Dr. C.. I am five years out today! Remember? I couldn't have asked for anyone better to perform my life changing surgery!rnrn1/29/08 HAPPY RE-BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!rnWell today is January 29th definately one of the most important days in my life..5 years ago I had my gastric buypass surgery! And at this time in the evening 7:45 PM I had already been up and walking around the hallway... I can't believe that it has been five years! Time goes by so quickly, and I have been very blessed. We all go through transition in life and I have gone through mine, but somehow I have managed to use the tool that was given to me to stay health. At 5 years out, I have managed to maintain my weight.. I am not 165 which I only \"visited\" for a short time, but I realized that there is a natural place that my body is ok with being, and that range is between 180-190, My 5 year pictures that I just took today (wearing the blue tank top) I am at a cool 189 and feel great.. I am comfortable with wear I am. If I feel myself creeping... I just bear down and diet a bit so that I can maintain.. When I was in the 170's I was contantly criticizing myself for not being able to maintain a weight that my body obviously wasn't meant to be.. I am 5'9\" and I work out.. for me.. I just don't think that that is where I am suppose to be.. and in reality I feel as though as long as I am well under the 200 pound mark, I have achieved my goal. I am after all going to be 42 years young or as I like to say, \"I am celebrating the 21st anniversary of my 21st birthday!\" There still is not a day that goes by that I am reqretful about having the surgery and I truly think that this was the right choice for me and many others out there. I am happy with who I am, where I am going and have learned to appreciate the person that I was because after all.. that was always just the outside person.. the core, the me inside has never chagned. Well for all of you out there.. celebrate who you are, and where you have been but most of all celebrate where you can go and believe me, if I can maintain after 5 long years.. so can you.. so today's quote is one from me..rnYOU are who you are, YOU can do what you set your mind to, 5 years or 5 minutes.. you are the same person, and you just have to be able to manage you.. not anyone else.. rnPeace and Love.. and again.. IF I CAN ANYONE CAN!!!!rnCJ~rnrnFrom the very beginning I felt as though Dr. Coirin was not only a wonderful surgeon, but a wonderful person. He truly understands the quest that those of us that have been heavy for most of our lives go through. My impression of him only gets better with each happy face that I see at the support group meetings. He is doing a wonderful job. His staff was very helpful and very excited to assist in any way that they could, and made the wait for approval much easier to bare. Future patients should know that Dr. Coirin is a wonderful surgeon with many years of laporoscopic experience. Dr. Coirin's surgical skills and beside manner are simply wonderful. I feel very fortunate to have had Dr. Coirin as my surgeon! rnCJ "

"I am having surgery on June 16th, and I could not have more confidence in a surgeon. Dr. McNemar is a wonderful person as well as a wonderful Dr. and finding the combination of the two is a hard thing to do.. 6-26-04 I am 10 days post op and feeling great, Dr. McNemar has been a wonder Dr. I am very pleased with the results of my tummy tuck. I still have swelling but that is very common for quite some time after surgery. I am also very pleased with how my scar is healing. As of today I have noticed that most of the incision is closed and that the scar itself is very thin. I am very pleased with the work of Dr. McNemar. I will update you as the progress continues! "
