Central Jersey Bariatrics Bariatric Center
I have nothing but good things to say about Dr Sowemimo. From the first time we met at his support group meeting I know he was a special person. I am not a doctor kind of person. I don't like doctors or visiting doctor offices at all. But when you go to his office it like a family, they are by far the best group of people that I have ever met in a doctor office setting. He went over everything about all the different surgery and answered all my question from my first visit to the day he did my surgery. I had not one issue and he went to visit me every day to see how I was doing. I'm a year out from having the sleeve and down 181 lbs from 439 lbs. I could go on forever about Dr. Sowemimo he by far is the best doctor I have EVER met in my life! He gave me the tools to change my life and not only my life but he changed most of my families lives too! He is performing the sleeve on my wife right now! Dr Sowemimo is everything that you read about him and he is more then a doctor to me, he is part of my family now and I thank him for giving me my life back.
I had been seriously considering gastric bypass surgery for several years but always hestitated due to the invasive nature of the traditionally performed procedure. My other concern was follow-up, continuing education and support. This website is fantastic but attending monthly support meetings with local people you can see and with which you can converse put me at ease. The initial informational session conducted by Dr.Adeyeri and his nurses (offered monthly) thoroughly explains the three most frequently performed weight loss surgeries describing the pros while not sugar coating all possible complications (some are very rare) and dangers. This is a life changing (positive for me and most bariatric patients) and life altering surgery but should not be embarked upon cavalierly! I needed to feel that my surgeon was not selling me just a pretty bill of goods. I was impressed by Dr. Adeyeri's seriousness, knowledge, honesty and positivity. When he said that there'd be lifetime follow-up and support I knew I'd found my surgeon. I needed the surgery because I have suffered from polycystic ovarian sydrome (PCOS) since my teens, was very morbidly obese weighing 130+ lbs over my idea weight, had developed often uncontrollable HBP, high cholestrol, severe joint pain especially of the knees and hips but also recently my arms/shoulders, asthma, migranes and sleep apnea. Due to the PCOS had increased risk factors for stroke, heart attack or developing diabetes; not a pretty health picture! Though Dr. Adeyeri is extermely busy- dividing his time between three offices, the surgical suite and visitng his patients at two hospitals- he is always patient asking if there is anything else need to ask or discuss during every visit. When I was seen for my initial post-surical follow-up he again said to me "You know, you're stick with me for life" I knew I'd made the right choice- you are never truly released Dr. Adeyeri wants to ensure you're successful now and 10 years from now. As usual, he reminded me to come to our next support meeting. I know many people who have had this and other weight loss surgeries and this kind of care and follow-up is unheard of. No of them received support approaching this level. If you are considering weight-loss surgery snd live in New Jersey go to Dr. Adeyeri's informational session and attend a support meeting. You'll know you've come to the right place and you found your surgeon! I wish I'd found Dr. Adeyeri sooner as I would had have my surgery long ago. I am delighted with my decision it has only been ten days but I can now walk over an hour daily, feel FANTASTIC and younger than I have felt in a long, long time. My mind is clear, I'm sleeping better, my BP is already lower and my back, body and joints are no longer sore and constantly aching. I can BREATHE! I"M ALIVE AGAIN! This is what my surgery has done for me-I HAVE NOT FELT TRULY ALIVE IN A LONG TIME! THANK YOU LORD for putting Dr. Adeyeri and his team in my path- THANK YOU for the second chance to LIVE MY LIFE- AGAIN THANK YOU Dr. Adeyeri for changing my life for the BETTER!
Sincerely,

Dr. Seun is great. From the moment I met him I knew he was the surgeon for me. He is caring, patient, and always answers any questions in detail in a way I can understand. I had the sleeve surgeery in May, 2012 and I feel great. His office staff is also great from the ladies in the front office and Julie the nutrionist. They made everything easy from making appointments, completeing insurance paperwork and disability forms it was a real hassle free expierience. I would reccommend Dr. Sue'sn practice to everyone who is considering weight loss surgery.
After a failed Lap Band, I was very fortunate to have met Dr. Seun as my surgeon. I knew immediately he was the right Doctor for me,he didnt hesitate to take the Band out and He explained the difference between all the surgeries and explained in detail why the Gastric Bypass was the best option for me. I was scared to have the proccedure but Dr. Seun reassured me everything would be fine and he was right, I am so glad I took his advice and Im so happy with the surgery. And He also has a great bed side manner and truly cares about his patients.
Before I met Dr, Adeyeri, I was a prime candidate for a stroke or heart attack. Dr. Adeyeri is a caring and compassionate person. All my questions and concerns were addressed quickly and professionally. He used his charts and literature to explain exactly what he was going to do. His staff was helpful and friendly as well.
My original surgery was scheduled for 5/30/12. I made it to the second floor, (about 50 ft. from the operating room) when the anesthesiologist recommended I reschedule until I had the loose tooth stabalized or pulled. What a major disappointment. Dr. Adeyeri said not to worry, he would work it out. He was booked solid for the next couple of months. I had the tooth pulled, and then got a call from Mara. They would be able to squeeze me in next week--YAHOO.
My surgery was successful and now three weeks later I feel great. Thank you Dr. Adeyeri and staff. You were all wonderful. I finally feel like I'm on track to a healthier and happier life.
I had my bariatric surgery only 3 weeks ago at centerstate hospital in Freehold,N.J. The staff was very pleasant and met all my needs. My surgeon was top- notch. Dr. Adeyeri is a compassionate surgeon who really shows he cares. He knew my concerns I had due to past family issues with bariatric surgery, but Dr. Adeyeri made me feel comfortable and more convinced that this surgery would help me in the long run. I have had no bad effects post surgery, I feel great, and I look at each day in a new way. thank you Dr. Adeyeri for coming into my life. You have given me the chance to be around to see my grandbaies have babies of their own. I would highly recommend you to any person seeking to have weight loss surgery. Thank you,Jacqueline Cobilla

About a year ago I was put in a scary place when I started having complications with my Lap Band, when I met Dr. Sowemimo I was sad, scared and angry (and not particularly nice :) He held my hand, calmed my fears and gave me hope, he never left me in the dark during any step of the process of my Lap Band removal and revision to the VSG, and I had confidence in him every step of the way. He is easy to talk to, warm and funny, with a fantastic bedside manner and a good sense of humor.
Also, the staff at his office is amazing. The girls in the office are always polite, easy to talk to and quick to help in any situation and Julie the dietitian is so helpful in every stage of the journey.
All together they offer a fantastic experience with a solid support structure that every patient can depend on. I would recommend them to anyone who is seeking weight loss surgery.
I am now almost 9 months out from surgery and at goal, Dr. Sowemimo has given me the best gift in the world, a chance to live my life the way I always wanted to, healthy, active and whole.
