Prime Surgicare Bariatric Center

On 3/19/2012 I had VGS performed by Dr. Seun. His practice was recommended to me by some coworkers who also had this procedure done. I was relaxed by his manor during the office visits and I knew I was going to be in good hands.

I completed the required visits with the on-site nutritionist and he had given me a surgery date earlier than I had expected.

Day of the surgery all went smooth. When I woke up in my room I had some pain but not severe. The staff in the hospital had me walking or should I say shuffling.

The next day I was released to go home and I had no pain. I was given pain killers to take home but they were not needed.

Today was my first followup and I had some concerns which he addressed and made me feel better.

Every day I'm feeling better and having more energy.

I'm very pleased with my choice of surgeon and I would refer any friends who wanted the same procedure to him.

From the moment I met Dr Seun I was at ease. He went over all the options and talked to me and ask me what my expections were. He told me what I needed to do prior to surgery. The ladies in his office all went above and beyond to help me every step of the way, including the day of the surgery. They came in early on their time and arranged to get my insurance to approve the surgery. It has been over 7 months since I started this journey. I have lost a total of 61 pounds. I will continue to lose the weight. This is only achived with the support of everyone that I come in contact with. This is truly a lfe changing adventure. I highly recommed Dr. Seun Sowemimo because he not only preformed the Gastric sleeve on me but he also had to finish removing my gal bladder that another hospital could not complete due to the lack of proper instruments. Dr. Seun also did a highatal hernia repair. I am so glad that I chose Dr Seun Sowemimo. He is everything that I expected and then some.

He's the best!! His staff is always very nice.

I first met Dr. Seun in June. He was very nice, had a sense of humor and treated me with caring and respect. I told myself that this was only a 'fact finding mission', that I really wasn't sure about the surgery, but his gentle and reassuring way slowly changed my mind. He has a wonderful staff and they also helped me through my self doubt. On 10/12, I came into the hospital at 5:30 AM for a 7:30 AM surgery. I was nervous and shaky when I was taken to the OR. By the time I saw Dr Suen, I was crying and wondering if I made the right decision. He came to my side, calmed me and told me he would see me inside. That's the last I remember before the surgery. My surgery took twice as long as it should have....I had a big heital hernia that Dr Suen repaired. I can never thank Dr Suen for all that he has done for me. I am now 6+ weeks out and doing very well. I've lost 63 lbs since I first met Dr Suen. He's simply the BEST!!!

On first impression of Dr. Seun I found him to be thorough, kind, and caring. It was my first appt. and I was so nervous but though serious, he had the personality to laugh a little and really helped me to relax. I went to his seminar last night, Wed 09/14/2011 and again he was professional yet light hearted. I feel confident in placing my future and this process in both his and his staff's hands. I have a tentative surgery date of 12/12/11 and I will keep you posted!

I think Dr. Seun Sowemimo has a great professional manner. He cares about you as a person and patient. The office staff is great. I am greatful for the Nutritionist Julie Parrott. I hope to continue with the support group that is available. I am thankful for Dr.Seun's care.

When I think of all that Dr. Seun has done for me, it's hard to imagine that a simple thank you would suffice. Yet I cannot help being overwhelmed with sincere gratitude to him and his amazing staff. You see, I suffer from white coat anxiety that has kept me from visiting doctors regularly for over 25 years. It took me two years just to work up the never to even go to a seminar. Luckily it was one of Dr. Seun's, and that was where I had my first real interaction with him, which was truly amazing. Later down the line, I had a great pre-op visit, where he answered all my questions clearly and concisely, and never spoke down to me. He was forthright with his advice and was willing to individualize my plan for my particular needs (both physical and emotional). The next time I saw him was on the day of my surgery. Needless to say, this was not a great day for me due to my anxiety. When I was wheeled into the OR waiting area, I was alone without any other patients in the room, and there was only one nurse there, and she sat on the other side of the room. Being all alone, my anxiety and fear got to the point where I was literally ready to rip the IV out and go home. Luckily after quick visits from a nurse and an anesthesiologist, Dr. Seun showed up. He immediately noticed that I wasn't doing so well, and he took the time to stand there and reassure me that he would take care of me, and that there was nothing to worry about. Honestly, that five minutes he spent with me completely put me at ease. I cannot say enough good about Dr. Seun, and I certainly could never thank him enough for his kindness and for the incredibly high quality of his care. On the day of my surgery, he not only gave me a new tool and an plan to help me combat my obesity, he gave me a sense of confidence in the medical profession that has continued to ease my anxiety. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Seun, and his amazing office staff.

I am very blessed that Dr. Sowemimo did my surgery. He was compassionate, attentive, visited me post op in the hospital to check on me each day. I give him big kudos!!!

Dr. Sowemimo and his staff are courteous and easy to talk to. When I called for my first appointment, they were able to schedule me for the following week. I'm always in and out in about an hour when I go for fills, which is important for me, as I go during my lunch break. I had my surgery with a different doctor, and now see Dr. Sowemimo about every 8 weeks for follow up and fills.
