Leanne, congratulations on a job well done!  You've come a long way and in such a short time and have expressed so well the joys of weight loss as a result of surgery.  Best wishes for continued success!

I get on while at work.   I moved last April after I sold the house.  I live on top of a mountain and the only internet option I had was HughsNet....a satellite internet service that is way expensive and has a high cancellation fee.....and I plan on moving in 6 months....sooooooo.....I get on OH when I am at work!  LOL
Love getting paid to catch up on my OH friends!

Definitely go to another surgeon.  I don't know what is going on with Dr. Shina, but he always seems to be too busy to really take time to talk.  Then again, maybe that is just his way.  He is one of those doctors you either like or you don't.  And sometimes you start out liking him and can end up with someone else.  His behaviour in your situation is really uncalled for.  I think there are times he picks and chooses who he wants based on the experiences you have with him.  Until there is a time that he treats me the way he treated you, I will continue with my aftercare (March 17th next visit).  But if he had treated me the way he treated you, I would find someone else.  Believe me, I came close to doing just that when he didn't believe how sick I was until he discovered my pouch was almost closed and it shocked him.  Now he treats me better, but still nothing to brag about.  I'm just another patient.  I am happy I had the surgery and I am feeling good about the weight I've lost, but I may never get to goal, but I don't care.  If I feel good, that should be enough.  And if I keep it off, that should be good enough too.

Hugs,
