What Do Patients Say About Dr. Henderson?

“I have only one thing to say… I LOVE MY LAP-BAND!! At 5’ 2 ½”, and my weight at 246, I was miserable. Many times I had lost weight but gained it right back because of my lack of self control…

Last spring I met a young lady who had undergone bypass surgery and lost 150 pounds! She told me about her journey and about a new procedure her doctors were doing called Lap-Band. I could hardly wait until Monday to call Dr. Henderson's office…

…Dr. Henderson, the nurses, and the entire office staff were wonderful. They listened to what I was saying; they encouraged me and became my support and second family… I became a normal eater and the weight began to fall off. I've been banded for one year now and have lost 65 pounds; 60 percent of my excess weight is gone! I look and feel like a different person. I can shop for clothes in regular sizes now and feel good about myself when I look in the mirror…” – Bridget

“Picture a child about five years old. Very excited about going to school. Wanting to learn how to spell and write her name and then learning for the first time that her name isn't 'Chubby.' I've had a weight problem as far back as I can remember. It's had a tremendous affect on my life…

This isn't to say that I've never lost weight. I have. In fact, I've lost enough weight to almost get to a normal size several times, but I would always gain it back and more! Needless to say, I've always had low self-esteem…Now I'm more of an optimist than a pessimist. I feel like I've come out of a cocoon like a butterfly…

I'm much healthier. The weight loss has brought my blood pressure to normal. I no longer have acid reflux or sleep apnea. The pain that I had for years in my knees and feet is now gone. With the pain gone and not having the extra 130 pounds to carry around, I am more mobile…I can even bend over and tie my shoes and still breathe…”
– Yvonne

“At 32 years old and 296 pounds (highest weight ever – 315 pounds), I knew that I needed help! I was mentally and physically tired of the weight loss roller coaster…

I researched the different options and talked to other patients when I quickly realized that Gastric bypass was right for me. I soon met with Dr. Henderson and was comforted by their knowledge and experience with bariatric surgery and also the passion that was shown to me for helping others.

…Now having lost an astounding 140 pounds my life has forever been changed! I now smile because I am happy about the way I feel and look.

…To Dr. Henderson, a special thanks to you as your knowledge and expertise has helped me to improve my quality of life and be healthy. I am very proud that I chose you as my surgeon!” – Cynthia
