"I met with Dr. Hixon and I liked him very much. He kinda looks like Bill Cosby. I watched a video, and Dr Hixon explained all of the risk. He gave me a very large package to explain the surgery and the diet.
Dr Hixon only does open surgery but he does
do the skin reduction surgery.
His office assistant, Pam is just wonderful.
I had transferred all of my paperwork from Dr. Redman's office (a doctor I chose not to use) and Pam help to get it updated and completed. I went to have my bloodwork done. My first visit was in May 2004. Pam requested all of the files from the Dietian and the Psycologist. When all was completed, Pam submitted the paperwork to Blue Cross. In November I was approved without any problems. I was shocked.I went for the heart test and had my lungs checked. We scheduled my surgery for December. I ended up getting sick and had to postpone the
surgery until January. Blue Cross had changed the general policy and would not allow me to have the surgery. My employer stepped in and got the new approval for me."
