"Dr. Hocking is a very gifted surgeon along with having
an excellent personality. I had open RNY 1/7/99. My surgical
experience was excellent. I had little or no pain in the
hospital - the bariatric staff is well-trained and the
anesthesiologists are great. Today (19 months post-op - I reached goal weight at 13 months) I am 161 lbs. lighter
at my goal of 135 lbs. My scar is minimal and will
barely be visible with time. Everything went very well for me."
