TestimonialsI was “banded” and had my Lap Band surgery on November 24, 2010. Since then, I have lost 115 pounds and am still losing weight!! From the beginning, I was impressed with the respect and professionalism of Dr. Henderson and his entire staff. I can honestly say that Dr. Henderson cares about his patients and truly wants to help them in their weight loss journey. Dr. Henderson was aware that beginning in January, my insurance would change and it would cost me more money out of pocket for the surgery. Because of this, Dr. Henderson worked quickly in order to schedule my surgery before my insurance changed. Since losing the weight, it’s the little everyday things that I notice that make life so much easier. For example, I can now cross my legs again and I can bend over to tie my shoe. Before the surgery, I would have to prop my foot on my knee in order to tie my shoes. Getting in and out of the car is much easier now also. I can also go to amusement parks and know that I can ride every roller coaster in the park and not have to worry about being too big to fit in the seat. It’s also nice to be able to fly without having to ask for a seat belt extension. Health wise, I have never been so healthy in my entire life. My cholesterol is actually normal and not a good bowling score like it used to be. My blood pressure is once again normal and my sleep apnea is gone. I would highly recommend this surgery and Dr. Henderson and his staff to anyone who wants to improve their quality of life. This surgery and Dr. Henderson have definitely changed my life for the better!!

Dr. Peter Henderson and the entire staff of Progress Weight Loss Surgery are the BEST. Without their guidance, direction and encouragement, my weight loss goals would never have been achieved. Dr. Henderson's professionalism is outstanding, and the compassion of his staff is awesome! Thanks to all of them, I'm well on my way to maintaining a much healthier & happier lifestyle. Terry
Dr. Henderson and his staff did an exemplary job with providing me information for the completion of my surgery. From the very first day, I was welcomed in to an office where the atmosphere was to help, aid and assist. Their relentless tenacity for excellence allowed me the opportunity to have an experience with a medical profession like none other. I was nervous and concern about the procedure and what appeared to be an overwhelming process. However after Dr Henderson and his staff walked with me through each process. I felt better (relieved) about all that I had to accomplish, to maintain and to get other health issues and concerns under control. I recommend and have recommended this process. I recommend and have recommended Dr. Henderson. (I love the personal contact and how every time you call you get a "live person," where does that happen in a doctor’s office or anywhere these days).

I grew up in a family where each member has always struggled with their weight. Sure, we followed the various weight loss programs, and had some success. But eventually, the newness of those programs would wear off, and we would all gain the weight back. In September of 2009, my father passed away at 70 years of age. His death was a result of kidney failure, diabetes, congestive heart failure…all of which could be attributed to his obesity. When at 47 I looked at my lifestyle choices, I determined if I did not make a change, I would most likely be just like my father when I reached that age, if not before. I had researched all the various surgeries available, and Dr. Henderson advised me that since I didn't have an extreme amount to lose, that the Lap-Band would be right for me. So, surgery was scheduled for Oct 1 of 2010. Dr. Henderson's office was so helpful prior to the surgery in telling me just what to expect through the time before the surgery, as well as the weeks and months to follow. Their booklet told not only what to eat, but other keys to making this surgery successful. The surgery does not guarantee weight loss, but it will assist you in loosing weight IF YOU FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES. On Oct 1, 2010 I had my lab band surgery. New Years Eve, 90 days later, I have lost 60 lbs. I am now only about 13 pounds away from my goal. I have not regretted the surgery, nor any food or drinks that I sacrifice the first time. However, I attribute my success in heeding the information given to me ahead of time. Dr. Henderson, and his entire staff, have truly been cheer leaders for me and have assisted me in every question or concern I've had. I highly recommend this team! Robin
"What an awesome staff at this practice. I started this journey 4 years ago and went to several information meetings before Jan. this year. Dr. Moran did my surg. in Feb. 2011. I have lost 100 pounds so far and I have 80 to go. They are with me encouraging me every step of the way. If you are thinking you don't want to fail if you don't try, you will. Awesome People=Awesome Outcomes. Coretta
"Before my surgery, I didn't have the energy to walk to and from the car, let alone chase after my nephews! Now, I'm a lean mean nephew chasin' machine! Life is so much fun now - I love being able to go and do things that I couldn't do before. I remember a time, about 2 weeks before my surgery - I went to eat breakfast with my mom and dad at a local diner, and how embarrassed I got because I couldn't fit into the booth. These days, I can sit comfortably in a booth - even with another person beside me! It's the little things that mean the most! Thank you ALA & Dr. Moran for helping me become the healthy new me!"
