I don't know who Dr. Hodges is. ButHannibal, MO would not be close to where you live. Hannibal is about an hour north of St. Louis. Are there any bariatric surgeons in Springfield?

I had Dr. Hodges and a friend of mine on Medicaid called and they told her that they accept it but, the hospital will not. She had an appt. in KC with a surgeon who took medicaid but, it turned her down. Although I feel she was not really ready for the surgery because she then just gave up instead of fighting. But if you have any questions please feel free to email me. Best of luck. RK LAP RNY 4-9-02 -90lbs

I am not sure who Dr Hodges is, but I know that Hannibal Clinic does not accept Medicaid. I found out though that Dr. Hornbostel does accept medicaid, and that he also does the surgery out of another clinic besides the Hannibal one. I realize this is late, but maybe someone can use the info in the future. :)
