Q.My camellia plants lost a lot of leaves. How do I encourage the plant to gain foliage and become thick and healthy?
I removed two feet of soil before transplanting and used acidify to increase acidity of soil.

Transplanting any plant can cause it to drop leaves. Baby it while it recovers and make sure it is getting the proper cultural needs. A light pruning normally would enourage growth, but since you moved it, I would wait.
