Hugh Houston

"What can I say that has not already been said about this wonderful,rncaring, compassionate man? That I have the utmost confidence in himrnand his staff? That for the first time I can remember in a long timerna doctor treated me with respect, care and concern, and didn't justrnlay blame, shame, and guilt for the fact that I was obese? That afterrnmeeting and talking to him I felt there might be hope and help for myrnhealth and disease? Yes, I can honestly say all of these things andrnI felt like he really cared about me and my problem and it wasn'trnjust his job. I didn't get the feeling that I was just anotherrnpatient to rush in and out of his office. He spoke to me at lengthrnand answered all my questions and even alleviated my very protectivernmother's concerns.rnrnThe gastric bypass surgery Dr. Houston performed on me has given mernmy life back. Prior to surgery, I went to work, church, and shoppedrn(with great difficulty) for just what I had to. My life was anrnexistence but not an enjoyment. I am so thankful that Dr. Houstonrnagreed to work with me and my insurance company to give me thisrnsecond chance at life. His support, encouragement, and sometimes evenrna little scolding are what have helped to make my surgery a success.rnI knew when I heard him at the seminar that his honest, tell it likernit is manner was what I wanted in a surgeon. But he has a soft siderntoo and if I've needed a little hand holding along the way he hasrndone that also.rnrnSo, thank you Dr. Houston for my new life. I am so glad you decidedrnto use your surgeon's skills to help those of us who have fought thernbattle with obesity without much success and help or support from thernmedical community. Thank you for seeing me as a human being with arndisease and not just a self-indulgent fat person. I hope I can livernup to your expectations and promise to do my best to make the most ofrnthis wonderful, valuable tool you have given me.rn"
