Great overall experience, great recovery both in time and pain. Loving the weight loss and the new me. Down 140 pounds and still going.
Great, 10 stars if there is such a thing! God used Dr. Sadek to help save and change my life for the better. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great surgeon.
.....Happy Lapbander 4.5 years. My original dr. is not a dr. anymore.......I needed a fill and 7 dr.s would not touch me since I was NOT their original patient. Dr. Sadeek had no problem dealing with another dr.s patient....he is a dr and IS HERE TO HELP!! He is lovely and caring. His office is FILLED with happy patients....even the office staff is great. He knows his stuff and in my MANY years dealing with weight loss and weight loss patients - I have never heard of a dr. who is adored by all. He even went on to "fix" my friends RNY problems she had dealt with for years. LOVE THE MAN!! km
How do you begin to tell someone thank you for giving you your life back? I didn't even realize all that I had lost until I began gaining it all back.
Through all of the pre/post surgical process, Dr. Sadek has been an angel to me.
He is so encouraging, kind, sensitive and untiring in his devotion to me as his patient. I have never felt so supported and felt that someone has had such faith in me before.
My surgery date was 02/28/2012. Dr. Sadek is an excellent surgeon with a keen eye for keeping the patient safe. I had no post-surgical complications. As a matter of fact, I was back to work within two weeks and at the gym by four weeks. I haven't looked back or slowed down yet.
At 3 1/2 months post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, I ran my first 5K! It was the Run For Dad on Father's day, for prostate cancer, in Mercer County park. On that same day, I hit my 60 pound mark!!! It was an amazing day! Then after that, I just kept running. When I hit six miles, I figured, 'Hey, if I can run six miles, I can run 26.2'
At my four month check up, Dr. Sadek agreed to sponsor 'TEAM SADEK' for the upcoming November 18th, 2012 Philadelphia Marathon!!! It was such a proud moment for me. I will continue to make him proud, too, when I cross the finsih line after 26.2 miles.
I have lost a total of 67 pounds!!! I am only 33 pounds away from my goal. I am at the point where I want to really stop and smell the roses now, because this will be the last time I will ever look through life at this weight again. Watching the pounds melt away, has just been amazing and it is almost over! Soon, this will all be a memory and I will be living in the healthy lifestyle I had previously only dreamed of. Already, my daughters and I regularly go to the gym together.
The amount of gratitude and awe that I have for Dr. Sadek is immeasurable. He greets me, like he greets all of his patients, like I am the only one. I cannot say thank you enough.
Ellen's story:
How do you thank someone that has given you a second chance at life. I was 340 lbs at my highest weight and maintaining a course of self destruction. I had Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Triglycerides and everything that goes along with it. I tried for 9 years to find someone that would take the chance and give me the opportunity to save myself before it was too late.
Dr. Sadek performed my Sleeve Gastrectomy on 7/6/2010, I have maintained a weight loss of approx.120-125 lbs. I no longer have any of the issues mentioned above.
Seeing my success, my husband decided to take the same path to getting himself healthy.
With a few bumps in the road, his Sleeve Gastrectomy was performed on 3/28/2012, he has lost approx 40 lbs to date.
Ed's story:
After I made the decision to start the process, I hit some snags with the cardiology clearance. After having 4 stents and being put on Plavix, I knew it was time to get this done. My doctors were concerned about having the surgery while being on Plavix. I did some research on the internet and found that almost all the bariatric surgeons advised not doing the sleeve while on the medicine. After meeting with Dr. Sadek, he explained the increased risks of doing the surgery while on Plavix, but NEVER advised against it. He consulted with my cardiologist and advocated the benefits of doing the sleeve before my cardiac condition worsened.
I am proud to say that the surgery was successful, being on Plavix had no effect on the outcome.
I cannot thank Dr. Sadek enough for taking the chance on me and doing what no one else would.
My wife and I agree that he is not only a skilled surgeon, he is a kind and caring person with the patience of a saint. He responds to all questions and concerns in a timely manner and has always made himself available to my entire family.
I can not say enough about Dr. Sadek! He simply is one the best surgeons I have ever met and probably saved my life. I am a type 1 Diabetic and have been since age 4. I received the insulin pump 1 1/2 yrs ago and it put 60lbs on me, I just couldn't take it anymore and neither could my health. I was concerned that the vertical sleeve might not help because my weight did not mostly come on strictly by my eating habits, but Dr Sadek explained everything to me clearly and said this would def help! He was so right and I couldn't be happier with my results so far! I work in the medical field and know that sometimes surgeons become detached from the patients and lose the ability to care. Dr. Sadek is the complete opposite he cares for you as though you are family, from beginning to end. I can't believe the over the top care and consideration he took with me. He made me feel so safe and comfortable with the whole process with also being honest about the risks and outcomes. His office staff is wonderful as well and made the whole process very easy. Both Dr Sadek and his girls were there for me right away if I ever needed them!
Thank You Dr Sadek for giving me my life back!
Dr. Sadek is an excellent surgeon. He goes above and beyond for every patient he has. My surgery went well and I have to thank Dr. Sadek for saving my life. He also has excellent bedside manner and puts the patient at ease. He was highly recommended by my firnds who have used him as well. It was the best decision I have ever made to go to Dr. Sadek.
Dr Sadek saved my life, I had a band slippage and he had to take it out. &
7 weeks later he did the sleeve...I don'yt know what I would have done if he didn'nt help me...Thank you Dr. Sadek...Your bedside manners are wonderful, you are a gentle man and you have a heart of gold..I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have bariatric surgery...
