Surgeon Testimonial

Cameron Hodges
After researching WLS for many many years I finally decided the time was right to have it done. I looked into many doctors and hospitals where I may go to. So I started looking right here at home an I found out about Dr. Hodges so I set up an appointment to see him. I had read his reviews and testimonials, and he looked good on paper. It took only the first meeting with him for me to know in my heart he was the one I wanted to do my WLS. The next several appointments I had with him just reinforced how I felt about his skills and the way he cared about me. He made sure I understood everything I was going to go through, and he pulled no punches about having WLS at my weight. He wanted for me to loose as much weight as possible before my surgery. He and his staff are the best, they ALL treated me with respect and concern about my WLS journey. I called on his staff several times for different things and they never acted like it was too much trouble to answer my questions. I would recommend Dr. Hodges and his staff to anyone who is serious about changing there lives through WLS. Dr. Hodges, My wife and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts forgiving me a chance at a new life.

Well today starts my 2 week countdown to my surgery. I am on my all liqued protine drink. Yesterday I went to my all day semanar at St.Johns I learned a lot. I also found out today I will have a filter put in my lungs to prevent blood clots. I know it is going to be tought not eating food before surgery but I am ready for it.

I have had my third appointment with Dr. Hodges. Now he and his staffs are getting all my paperwork together to send to my insurance co. Dr. Hodges thinks it will be no problem getting it approved. I am hoping for my surgery late November or early December.

I just found out my insurance (Aetna) has approved my surgery. It only took 9 days for them to approve me. I have an appointment to see Dr. Hodges on the 19th and at that point he will set the date. I thought I was nervous waiting for approval, now the nerves will really kick in for the surgery. I will still have to go to the all day class on Oct 30 so most likely my surgery wont be until after that. That will give me more time to get more weight off for a safer surgery. I am sooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 I went to Dr. Hodges yesterday and he set my surgery date for 11/14/06, I guess this will be my rebirth day. Now the butterflies are really flapping. I will need to see a pulmonologist and get a chest X-ray to possible have a filter put in to prevent blood clots. So I guess now my journey begins.
