Dr. Ryan Heider located in Mooresville, NC

I just want to post a message for anyone looking for a  Bariatric Surgeon in the United States. Because I had to pay for the surgery out of pocket,  I was looking for surgeons in Mexico due to the cost here in the States and was really giving up hope on ever having my life back. That is when I found Dr. Ryan Heider located in Mooresville, NC.   He is extremely reasonable and you can feel SAFE by staying in the States  for surgery and after surgery care. I had my surgery May 19, 2011 and am losing weight like crazy.  I had the Gastric Sleeve procedure and have had no complications.   I didn't even have a need to take pain meds after leaving the hospital!!  Incredible.  Oh...and I only have two small incision sites.  Even more incredible.  My visits to his office located in Mooresville, NC are always very positive with the most helpful staff.  I am always treated with respect and kindness. Dr. Heider's bedside manner is impeccable.  He is kind, caring and mostly empathetic to the needs and concerns of an obese patient.  His office offers support meetings, nutrition counseling, psychological evaluations, dietary supplements and his office is located in the Lake Norman Regional Medical Center facility where he performs the bariatric procedures.  I can only say positive things about the hospital and the staff who took care of me.  WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!  Thank you Dr. Heider for giving me my life back!!!        - jennifer
