" I found Dr. Shina to be straight forward with answering question. He answered questions fully and thoroughly. I am encouraged by the fact he has performed so many weight loss surgeries with only one person dying before the cardiac filter. I felt like he would fight to get my surgery if he feels like I'm ready and serious about losing weight.
I like the idea that he is stern with aftercare. He expects you to follow his directions and instructions to the tee. This is what I think I need in a surgeon and aftercare program. I do better with strict supervision.
He compared the risks of WLS surgery with the risks from any major abdominal operation. There are risks and there are definite benefits. Each individual has to weigh the risks and benefits for themself, and make a well informed decision.
So far I don't have anything bad to say, but I haven't had my one on one consultation with him yet.
