Truly Amazing Doctor, Staff and Surgery!
I had surgery in November of 2012 with Dr. Heider. Before I scheduled my appointment I attended his seminar, which I was skeptical about. I live just outside of Winston Salem so this was a big decision for me and I went alone. I was so impressed with Dr. Heider and what he had to say, that I immediately signed up to do the surgery. I was 426.6lbs at my highest. My first month I had to drink 3 Optifast protein drink boxes and one Optifast protein bar. That was per day!

Weight Loss Surgery (Best Decision I Ever Made)
I live in the Lake Norman area of North Carolina. My friend turned me on to go the route of weight loss surgery. She had it done and she looked amazing! I guess, I wanted what she had accomplished. Now I am that person and I look amazing. It was easy since I was self pay patient. Best $12k I ever spent. This included everything from the Surgeon fees, Anesthesiologist, 1 overnight Hospital stay and an insurance policy for the surgery plus one year of follow-up doctor appointments.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!
I cannot even begin to put into words how wonderful Dr. Heider is as a surgeon and as a person. I had the Verticle Sleeve Gastrectomy done and it is hands down the best decision I have made for myself and my health, however, choosing Dr Heider and his team was the best decision I made in trusting someone to perform surgery on me. He truly cares about his patients and puts himself in their shoes and walks every step of the way with them! With a surgery that is so individualized

I Got my Life Back!!
It took me a year to make the decision to have this surgery. I can't tell you how many times I dialed the phone and then just hung up. I had to overcome the fear and embarrassment that I had let my health and weight get out of control. I have not regrets and it is a decision that I am forever thankful for. My life, health and outlook on life is one of optimism and hope. Once I made the appointment, I was greeted by the most amazing staff who guided me through every step of
Incredible Life Changing Decision! Great Price! - Mooresville, NC
I had a Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and it was the best decision I've ever made. I had been searching everywhere trying to find a reputable physician in the United States that was afforadable due to my insurance carrier not covering the surgery. I then found Dr. Heider and had heard a lot of great things about him and his staff. They have a thorough program and his staff is very caring. The educational component, support from the physician and his staff and follow up you receive

Wanna Dance at Their Weddings!!! - Lake Norman, NC
58 year old widowed mother of and 8 and 13 year olds- I know, I am a late bloomer!!! Had children very late in life, gestational diabetes with both. Controlling my sugars and my weight had become increasingly difficult, and the thought of dying before my children were adults horrified me. I chose vertical sleeve gastrectomy for its permanence and for its effect on the hunger hormone, grhelin! Only a week out but the obsession to eat, constant hunger is largely diminished...

Ready To Live Again - Mooresville, NC
I have always been heavier, though I didn't always see myself as big as the pictures clearly showed that I was. I was just me. I tired easily and didn't like doing things outside. I never got dressed up because nothing fit me and I didn't like looking in the mirror in the first place... I've lived a life of avoidance, that is of every person who owns a camera! I have very few photos of myself. My heaviest Wt - 237 My current Wt - 232 My BMI - 39.8 with a comorbidity of Hypertension(also
