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! I remember praying my way through it because I was used to eating a lot. I had to lose 50lbs in one month or I couldn’t have the surgery. I did it! I had the gastric sleeve performed and did not have much pain. I’m proud to say I now weigh 215lbs and have 20lbs to go to meet my goal. My health has improved significantly. I will never forget Dr. Heider and his staff.
