I am now 11 months our from my RNY/gastric bypass performed by Dr. Seun. I've gone from 260 to 140 and I camry get over how much better I feel! I sing Dr. Seun's praises constantly because he really changed my life. And the amazing sportive person that he is, he hands those praises right back saying that he only gave me the tools and that I did this. The way I see it is you can't build a house without a hammer and nails and I couldn't do this without him and his fantastic staff!

The first time I met Dr. Sowemimo was at the seminar at Centrastate. He wasn't like your average doctor. He took the time to answer questions and didn't rush. In fact, we ended up going over the time by about a half an hour. That's what sold me. I knew that this was the doctor for me. He is very knowledgable but spoke to us like a friend on a level that you understand and he honestly cares about each and every one of his patients. I would reccomend Dr. Sowemimo and his staff in a heartbeat! Going to them is the best thing I ever did for myself. I am no longer a diabetic and I have the energy and ability to run around with my two 1-year-old nieces and I only had my surgey 8 weeks ago! Not to mention the amazing feeling of being down 34 lbs since surgery!

I first met Dr. Seun and Julie Parrott in November 2012. My weight had surpassed 380 pounds. I was on two kinds of insulin, and several oral medications for my type 2 diabetes. I couldn't walk more than 2 minutes without tiring out and sweating. My blood sugars were out of control and I needed a change.

At my initial consultation Dr. Seun recommended the full gastric bypass for my surgery. I then proceeded with Julie and her nutrition program and obtained the required medical clearances. My surgery was on Feb 4, 2013.

Today is the 100th day since my surgery. I saw Dr. Seun yesterday for my 3 month post surgery follow up.

I want to let everyone know I have followed everything Dr. Seun and Julie have told me to do (including following the post-op diet progression). I would not believe anyone if they told me that in just 100 days the following would have happened.......but it has.

I was able after just 45 days to come off insulin. I no longer take Novolog or Lantus. My blood sugars have normalized.

I am now able to walk for over 1 hour straight without having to take a break.

I am no longer hot, I no longer break out into sweats like I did before surgery.

I have gone from wearing 5X shirts to wearing 2X shirts.

My starting BMI was 54, it is now 39.

And I have lost 102 pounds in just 100 days.

Without Dr. Seun and Julie, I would still be the 380 pound guy who worried constantly about his health. I must admit I was afraid to undergo bypass. I checked into the procedure back in 2008. But I never felt comfortable about the procedure.

When I turned 45, I knew I had to do something about my weight. I was heavier than ever and my diabetes was not improving.

When I first met Dr. Seun I felt very happy and comfortable about taking the first step to better health. Dr. Seun is a good man and a great doctor. I am grateful that my research led me to him.

Losing 102 pounds in just 100 days, it is amazing. But it is hard work. I exercise everyday, I make the right choices, and I am feeling so much better and healthier.

Thank you Dr. Sean and Julie, I appreciate everything you have done for me.

Dr. Seun and his staff made me feel comfortable and well informed. Surgery (gastric sleeve)went without a hitch. Only a week out and I'm feeling good. Would definitely recommend Dr. Seun to anyone considering bariatric surgery.

Dr Seun and his staff were helpful and caring from pre to post op. Being 28 years old, a new mom and 193 pounds came with many challenges. After having the surgey, I have a new outlook on life and am eager to live every day to the fullest for myself and my daughter. I went from a couch potato to going to the gym 4 days a week and running miles! I could barely walk up and the down the stairs without being winded. Along with the obvious physical change, my mentality towards food has changed. Where I used to live to eat, I now eat to live. This surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made, and am eternally gratful for the chance to start my life anew! Yay for the Gastric Sleeve and Dr Seun and staff!!

I was first introduced to Dr. Seun & Julie Parrott when a friend/co-worker encouraged me to join her at a support group & new member meeting last July, 2012. I was very intrigued with the gastric sleeve & totally impressed with Dr. Seun. There I began my journey.
Shortly after, I received an email inviting me to a consultation with Dr. Seun. I made my appointment the day after Labor Day and started fulfilling my outside doctor visits. The office staff was so helpful & compassionate, guiding me through the red-tape of insurance procedures. They answered all my questions with patience and care.
My date was set for Jan. 2, 2013. Two weeks before my surgery, Dr. Seun advised me that the gastric sleeve wasn't an option (due to a prior medical condition); switching my procedure to the gastric by-pass. I ended up with 2 hernia's, a twisted bowel & a lot of scar tissue along with my by-pass, that Dr. Seun took care of. Dr. Seun did an extraordinary job, he is so skilled offering so much knowledge, concern and compassion.
It has been 3.5 months now and i've lost 54 lbs. I have never felt better & am so pleased with my progress all due to Dr. Seun and his professional staff of wonderful, caring people. I would highly recommend Central Jersey Bariatrics to anyone who is considering weight loss surgery. Hands down they are the best!

As I continue on my journey I continue to welcome the support of Dr Seun and Staff. They are always there to answer any questions. They make your visits to the office warm and welcoming. I would not reccomend any other Dr. and I am glad that me and my family chose Dr. Seun!

I had gastric bariatric surgery on 1-16-12, it has changed my life for the positive. I am down 100 pounds in a size 12 from a 24. Dr. Seun (Dr. Sowemiomo)answers all your questions and ensures that you are prepared both physically and metally for your journey. I highly reccomend attendance of the support groups, run by the practice, both before and after surgery.

I can not say enough positive things about Dr. Seun and his staff. Not only have many of my family family members had bariatric surgery with Dr. Seun He also performed an emergency apendectomy on my 9 year old daughter. We were in the hospital for a week due to it rupturing; Dr. Seun came in everyday to see her even if it was at eight o clock at night. Despite me wanting to take her home on day three Dr. Seun would not release her until he was absolutley sure she was ok. He treated my daughter as if she were his own child.

Dr. Suen is wonderful as a doctor and a person!!!

Jane and Jessica at the front desk are warm, welcoming, friendly and helpful. LOVE MY DOCTOR and his STAFF!!!

I first saw Dr. Sowemimo in December 2012 and was so impressed with he and his team, I knew I had found the right surgeon. I just had my surgery on April 8, 2013 and through the entire process of seeing the doctor's necessary for clearance, every medical professional I came in contact with praised Dr. Sowemimo. Many reasurred me that I made the best choice by choosing him as my surgeon. I was already convinced of that, however, that reinforcement put my mind completely at ease.

Dr. S is an amazing surgeon, extrememly caring and attentive. He does not leave anything to chance, as a thorough person myself, I respected the fact that he covered all bases to ensure things went as planned.

Joan and Jessica are just as special. They are so attentive and put your mind at ease that things will go just as planned. Julie Parrott is awesome, easy to talk to and I learned so much from her. She has taught me so many valuable things that I will always carry with me.

I am doing wonderful post surgery!! My new life is just beginning and I am so excited and have peace of mind knowing that Dr. S and his team are just a call away if I need anything.
