The surgery was fast and easy. Recovery was short, out of the hospital in 2 days. Surgeons are great and feeling much better. Very much worth it to have this surgery done.
From the first time I met doctor Sowemimo I knew he was the doctor for me. He was upfront and did a great job explaining what was going to happen. Although I am a patient, he did a great job at making me feel like a friend, which was comforting during this process. He and his staff have been great through this life changing experience and I highly recommend doctor Sowemimo for anyone who wants a quality doctor who truly cares. Thanks!!!
When I set out on this new chapter in my life, I knew I was coming directly to Central Jersey Bariatrics. Dr. Seun Sowemimo is the most dedicated physician I have ever encountered and unfortunately I have been through some surgeons in my life. He was thorough & precise with even the simplest things. Dr Sowemimo saved my life and I could be on here for days listing his professionalism from his knowledge to his supreme surgical skills.
My husband as well, has had Biatriatric bypass through Central Jersey Bariatrics and we could not have been happier.
From the bottom of my heart,
Thank you Dr. Sowemimo & Central Jersey Bariatrics

update
seven months after surgery, I lost 73 lbs and feel great!
Dr. Seun came highly recommended to me by a dear friend and co-worker, he, his wife and several family members had surgery performed by Dr. Seun. this made it so much easier to make the final decision to go through with the surgery, gastric sleeve. also, when going through all the pre-op screenings, cardiologist, - these dr's also know Dr. Seun and also highly recommended him. I was totally impressed with the thoroughness. IE monthly support groups, required nutritionist appointments, seminars, etc. Dr. Seun is a very sincere and very likable man. he attends all the support group meetings and is very approachable at all times. the surgery went very well. minimally invasive, going on my 3rd week post-op, lost 13 lbs, my blood pressure has returned to normal, after being on meds for 10 years. no longer need to take meds - although, I monitor my bp on a daily basis. can't wait to see how much my cholesterol level comes down over the months. I am no longer preoccupied and distracted with eating just for the sake of eating any more. I feel so much better now that I don't retain fluid in my legs and knees, arthritis pain has been relieved significantly. Dr. Seun's medicai/office staff are very professional, highly skilled and compassionate people. thank you, Dr. Seun and staff :-)
my experience was good and my stay at centra state hospital was also good I was well taken care of my stay was 4 days its only been one week and lost22 lbs im looking great getting beater every day my dr is suen and he all so in centra state hospital thank you for a new life,
I could not be happier with the treatment pre and post surgery with Dr. Seun. Expert advice has made me a new person. I am down over 150 pounds since first walking into his office and still going. New outlook, new me!!!
Dr. Seun is the best. I am very happy after 6 months. I'm off insulin and my blood pressure meds!
I had my surgery 9 days ago (6/4). So far, so good. Surgery went OK. Pain was as expected. I weighed 291.2 on the day of surgery and have lost about 10-15 pounds so far (scale is a little off). This is my first week post-op so it is hard to evaluate aftercare. Things went pretty much as expected before the surgery. I knew of the risks. A lot of the information he told me is available online, including his site. Most of the information on the internet is pretty good. I was able to walk around the hospital right after surgery and have kept that up as that is pretty much the only exercise I am allowed to do.
The first 48-72 hours were the hardest as my stomach didn't want to hear from me and I fought myself to get enough protein in. Once all the drugs wore off and my throat healed (6/7) I was able to more or less get back to normal. No real hunger pains, though I find a glass of water in between meals helps.
I've noticed that some of my tight t-shirts fit me better already. I was also able to restart work after 5 days (including the weekend) but I have a desk job and can work from home.
The biggest challenge so far is missing food as my comfort/security blanket. The "cleanse," for a lack of a better phrase, of the first week's diet really does force you to change your eating habits.
At this point I am sick of gelatin and chicken broth. The taste of chocolate soy milk after the first week was like sweet manna from heaven. Strained cream of tomato soup never tasted so good.
