My experience with Dr. Sowemimo and his staff has been positive since the very beginning of this journey, through the surgery and now post surgery. They have keep me well informed of the dietary requirements and about the specifics of my surgery. They have also provided encouragement and reassurance through this life changing experience.
Let me start this review by saying that I was nervous and worried about getting this surgery done. After a year of thinking about it and discussing with my wife I decided to go through with it. I am certainly glad that I did it. A week and half post-surgery I have lost almost 30 lbs! More importantly I feel more motivated to lose the weight and get healthy. Dr. Sowemimo is so kind and was very helpful during the whole process. I would definitely recommend the surgery and if you can go with Dr. Sowemimo and his entire team do it. From the secretaries to the nutritionist a first-class experience that makes you feel among family.
Dr. Adeyeri is an amazing surgeon. He is very easy to talk to, and ensures that you have an understanding of all three procedures, so you can make the best choice for you. He cares about his patients and will do everything in his power to help you to succeed. There was never a time when consulting with him that he made me feel insecure or ashamed of being overweight. I came into his care with a faulty lapband that another surgeon had put in. He performed an emergency lapband removal for me and fixed me up! Dr. Adeyeri than performed my revision surgery which has already began to change my life for the better : ) My surgery was smooth sailing. I had no complications. I am several weeks out and have absolutely no regrets. I have and would recommend Dr. Adeyeri to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. His attention to detail and support is greatly appreciated and admired! If you want someone who will be straightforward, frank, and honest, Dr. Adeyeri is your guy! Also, his staff is magnificent. Mara and Melissa are fantastic!!!! – They are both so warm and friendly. Mara, Melissa, and Dr. Adeyeri have gone so far above and beyond especially to advocate with insurances and make sure the surgery went off without a hitch. Dr. Adeyeri’s office staff works very hard, and the dietician Julie, is excellent. There is a monthly support group which is an extremely valuable part of learning how to use your new tool to lose weight. Dr. Adeyeri attends the support group - which is such a perk to see a doctor that is so invested with his patients. If you stick with Dr. Adeyeri, you will be in good hands!
My review is 5 stars excellent. From the first time I walked in the door to the last visit I have had with Dr Adeyeri everything has been great. The front desk staff is great Mara knows your name is wonderful to deal with very professional and on top of everything. I had my surgery done on Dec 16th 2013 I had the complete bypass everything was just great. I think anyone who is even considering this should see Dr Aderyeri he takes his time and is very patient. Again Hospital was great,staff great and Dr great thank you for the start of my life back.
Dr. Adeyeri did my VSG surgery at the beginning of December 2013. He is very thorough and takes his time discussing the pros & cons of the various types of WLS. His office staff was very helpful, friendly and always available for questions. Dr. Adeyeri asked me on several occasions if there was any "room for improvement" in his processes/procedures during the pre-certification/surgery journey and he seemed genuinely interested in my response (although my suggestions were minor). He strongly encourages participation in the group sessions before AND after surgery. I found the pre-surgery quiz I was given to be slightly comical but after I "aced" it, I realized that people must not really do their homework about what to expect/do during and after surgery. I did not feel rushed during any of my consultation visits with him. I felt well informed and comfortable to ask any questions I might have.
I was referred to Dr. Adeyeri by family members who also had WLS in the last year or two so he came highly recommended. My mother had the RNY performed by a different surgeon (one based in Princeton) in 2000. I had consulted with mom's doctor 9 years ago and he was very much a narcissist who seemed very impatient for any questions. My insurance company refused to cover the surgery so our relationship ended there. Thankfully insurance requirements have changed alot in the last 9 years BUT there was no way, I was going to go back to that doctor so I was VERY happy to have been introduced to Dr. Adeyeri!!!
Although I went for most of my pre-surgery visits in Dr. Adeyeri's Freehold offices, I had my surgery performed at Raritan Bay in Old Bridge. Never having been to this particular hospital prior to my pre-admission testing (PAT), I was pleasantly surprised. The PAT process was the best I had ever experienced. I had a checklist and was escorted through/to the various stations which was helpful since I was in unfamiliar territory. I was shown a video/slideshow by his bariatric nurse which I found to be quite informative and was offered a tour of the hospital at the end of the PAT. After surgery, I had a private room and was able to recover with relative peace & quiet.
I just started my 4th post-op week yesterday and have had no complications from surgery. My recovery time has been quicker than expected and I credit Dr. Adeyeri & his staff for preparing me as well as they did. I am looking forward to losing the excess weight and beginning the next, healthier phase of my life.
I had gastric by-pass surgery the first week of December 2013. I met with Dr Adeyeri in August 2013 and immediately felt comfortable and confident that he was the surgeon for me. I had done a great amount of research and attended other seminars prior to meeting with him. Dr. Adeyeri and his entire team -- office professionals, dietians, nurse navigator and nurses were all wonderful !!! Dr. Adeyeri was never too busy to answer any questions. He is a gifted surgeon who truly cares about his patients pre- and post-surgery. Along with being a terrific surgeon, Dr. Adeyeri is a wonderful communicator -- he explains everything to you.
If you are considering bariatric surgery, attend his seminar and make an appointment to meet with him.
Prior to my visit to Dr. Adeyeri, I was extremely hesitant to have this surgery even though my doctors having been urging me for 10 years to have the Bypass Surgery. After my initial visit with Dr. Adeyeri and reviewing my options, he made me feel very comfortable and convinced me that the surgery was in my best interest. After going through the process of preparing for the surgery and knowing that Dr. Adeyeri was supporting me all the way, I feel that I made the right decision to have the Bypass surgery and have it performed by Dr. Adeyeri. After having the surgery, there were no complications and I was up and walking the same night with no pain and a week later I am feeling 100% better with a weight loss of 37lbs.
I give Dr. Adeyeri "Five Big Ups".
I had my sleeve surgery done at the end of March. I have lost 60 pounds since the surgery and 75 pounds overall. ( I went from 315 down to 240 ) Dr. Sean is a fantastic surgeon. He and his staff explained every step of the surgery and were right on point. Dr. Sean just makes you feel at ease both before and after the surgery. I had my surgery on Monday and was told everything went well. I stayed in the hospital overnight, and was released on Tuesday morning. I was sore on Tuesday and Wednesday and felt better on Thursday and went back to work for a few hours on Friday. (Which I believe is a direct testament to how good Dr. Sean is as a surgeon). I have 5 tiny scars which are hardly even noticeable. I was going to have the surgery 2 years ago and got cold feet and backed out. I regret not doing it then and would recommend the surgery to everyone who is interested. I had sleep apnea prior to the surgery and now I sleep through the night without snoring and wake up well rested. It was the best decision that I have ever made. If you are interested in bariatric surgery, I would highly recommend Dr. Sean.
