I had my surgery, a Gastric Sleeve done on august 29th 2012. I was 283lbs that morning, today I am 195lbs and feeling great! Dr Seun did a fantastic job, I am so happy being down to a normal size. I went from almost wearing a XXX and a 46" waist to a Large shirt and a 34" waist. Recovery was quick, had no issues. Ive thrown up once, from the barium for the leak test the day after the surgery...other then that I can eat anything...just small amounts of food.

I have been trying to encourage my overweight friends to get it done...I wish I had the health insurance coverage to have had this done 10 years ago. Im leaner, stronger, more flexible...my blood pressure went down. I couldn't be happier.

People are afraid of surgery...well dont let it stop you. This was a major lifestyle change and you wont regret it!

I had my surgery 2 years ago this past January and I feel wonderful. I went from 288 down to 145 and I can tell you Lap Band surgery is well worth it.

I would like to thank Dr Seun and his entire staff for making this one of the best decisions I have every made. I had my surgery almost 7 months ago and have since lost 71 lbs. I feel great and from all the reviews I have gotten I look just as good. I work for doctors that work very closely with Dr Seun, I see patients everyday that are working on their pre op procedures. I love telling them that I myself have had the procedure done and my progress they are amazed. Sometimes I show them a before picture and they spend several minutes asking me questions about the surgery, I think it is good for them to hear from someone who has just gone through it. Its funny because we all say the same thing about Dr Seun, HE IS GREAT and everyone feels so at ease with him and that he makes you feel like you matter to him and his staff. On this reveiw there is a section on the right had corner that says that "No person can be the "best" in all aspects." Well that is not true I could not find one NEGATIVE thing to say about him or my surgery.

I recently had the gastric sleeve done with Dr Seun on 11/19/12. I am extremely happy with the results so far. I decided to attend a seminar first before having an initial consultation with the doctor. Once I met him and listened to him speak about the different surgery options I was hooked, He is very confident, and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions big and small and made me feel at ease.

I had my weight loss surgery in February 2011. I struggled with the idea initially but once meeting with Dr.Sowemino, I immediately knew I was making the right choice. He was informative and his supportive advice helped guide my decision. Since the surgery, I have been very happy with my results and continued weight loss. He along with his wonderful staff made me feel comfortable, confident and calm during and after my surgery. Dr. Sowemino is patient and kind and his staff's support is greatly appreciated! He is truly concerned about his patients and takes his time explaining each step throughout the weight loss process. He is extremely personable, and I always feel I am well informed after each visit. I whole-heartedly trust Dr. Sowemino and his staff with my care. He has made a huge positive impact in my life and for that I will always be grateful! I can truly say, I made the right choice by choosing Prime Surgicare and Dr. Sowemino! You are the best! I give you 10 stars!!!!

Around September 2012, I decided to go to an information session "Is Weight Loss Surgery Right for You" at Centra State Medical Center. Presenting the meeting was Dr. Seun. From that first day, I knew that if I decided to pursue this course of treatment it would have to be with Dr. Seun. I soon followed that session up with a consultation and knew that I did the right thing by not only choosing to have the surgery but choosing to have Dr. Seun as my surgeon. He was very patient and answered any question I (or my sister) had that first appointment. He and the staff were very patient when I experienced some insurance coverage issues. Finally, January 23, 2013 I had my surgery at Centra State Medical Center. Dr. Seun and the rest of the staff were very kind and caring. I felt at ease having the surgery and the aftercare was excellent as well. Dr. Seun's bedside manner is wonderful. He always makes every patient feel like they are the only patient he has. I know this because my room mate at the hospital was also his patient, as well as a nurse at Centra State. I didn't feel like I was any less of a patient or mattered any less than my room mate despite her being an employee of Centra State. His office staff are wonderful. Joan helped me navigate my insurance issues and Julie is a great nutritionist. The aftercare program with Central Jersey Bariatrics is second to none. They really care about their patients and always greet me by name when I go to the office. They are always willing to help in any way possible. I have and continue to have a very positive experience with Dr. Seun and his entire staff. I am glad I chose Central Jersey Bariatrics and Dr. Seun for this life-changing surgery.

Dr. Sowemimo is amazing. He was helpful and caring from my first pre-op visit and it still continues even now 4 months post-op. He informs you on all your options and what he feels would be best for you. His office is helpful especially when dealing with your insurance company. I had the VSG and it has changed my life. It was one of the best decisions i ever made. I am down 50 lbs 4 months out and i am positive i will reach my gold of 120 lbs. I am so thankful i chose Dr. Sowemimo. He is a phenomenal surgeon, the day of my surgery went so smoothly. I was put to sleep and before i knew it i was in my room with my family. I had no pain by my incisions at all. I recovered so fast and was outside building a snowman with my daughter 1 week later. Thank you so much Dr. Sowemimo.

I am a patient of Dr. Seun. He performed my roux-n-y gastric bypass one week ago today.
There are a lot of positive things I can write about the entire process to date, but it's already been said by other reviewers. I couldn't imagine this process going any smoother.
At this moment, what really sticks out for me happened after surgery. I don't know how he does it. He must own a time machine, have a twin....I don't know, but Dr. Seun, in addition to seeing patients in his office, performing surgeries, holding seminars (in two hospitals! Really, when does he go home??), came to check my progress every day I was in the hospital. The best was on discharge day. I didn't have to linger in the hospital waiting for Dr Seun to give my discharge orders. He was there bright early with breakfast! I think that the time Dr. Seun takes to educate and care for his patients cannot be surpassed!

I had my sleeve surgery almost 5 1/2 months now. I met with Dr. Seun back in August of last year and went over all my options. he explained things very thoroughly and attended his seminar afterwards. It was clear to me which direction I was going to take and answered questions to the concerns i had. It's not a surgery to take lightly and this first week is the hardest. To date I have lost 61 lbs and 40% of my excess weight. I live a healthy and better life and would do it again. I trusted Dr. Seun and happy that I did. I am forever grateful to continue this journey with you all.

Here for my 6 month check up with Dr Seun and down almost 80 pounds! Could not be happier with Dr Seun or his office staff-they are wonderful people who helped me realize a dream and meet my goal! He has given me a gift I could never thank him enough for and will always be grateful. The experience has been so smooth and has been the greatest journey! Thank You to everyone at Prime Sugicare!

I choose Dr Seun located at Centrastate Medical Center in Freehold on a recommendation from a friend and feeling comfortable with the hospital he practices at. Once I met him and his office staff, I immediately felt at ease with their process and their organization through this journey! Dr Seun was always pleasant and upbeat which is something I needed to push me along and commit to this surgery. From my first appointment with Dr Seun, all my appointments with the nutritionist and surgery were scheduled right there so the process was so easy to follow. On the day of the surgery, I went in and everything just flowed so smoothly from the operating room to recovery and I could not have been happier. I am 2 weeks postop and feeling really well and ready to work hard at this whole process. I can not thank Dr Seun, Julie and his staff enough for being so gracious to me. I have already seen great progress and there is not enough "thank-yous" to Dr Seun for giving me my life back! I would highly recommend his practice for anyone considering this life change and it is the best decision I ever made! 3 Month update-doing so great and have lost over 50% of my weight loss goal!!! Love you Dr Seun!
