After contemplating surgery for a few years, I finally bit the bullet and made the decision to go forward with it. I had been to one previous seminar with a different doctor, but they left me less than impressed. Then, Dr. Adeyeri was recommended to me by my friend. I went in for an appointment in January and after our one on one meeting, was left feeling as if THIS was the right doctor AND the right decision. He made sure I understood everything about the surgery, etc. before leaving that room. I had my surgery date by the time I left the appointment. The next few months leading up to it flew by and every person on his team is just as caring and dedicated as Dr. Adeyeri is. They each make you feel as if you are the only patient they have. They go above and beyond what they need to do to make you feel comfortable and get the insurance red tape taken care of. I chose Raritan Bay Medical Center for my surgery location. The hospital and staff are fantastic. The nurses are incredible, and I can see why they are a magnet hospital. The day of surgery arrived, and Dr. Adeyeri (and nurses, etc) all made me feel secure and safe, which is very important. My surgery went well, and I was up and walking w/in two hours of getting up to my room. (Advice: WALK. WALK. WALK--helps with healing and gas). Only had gas pains afterwards and was walking two miles daily within three weeks. At my first week's checkup, Dr. Adeyeri was thorough and made sure everything was OK. I just had my second appointment and he was just as thorough as the first. I am doing great and couldn't of done it with out Dr. Adeyeri. Also, when he says he will be at those support group meetings, he actually shows up, which many doctors don't do. This goes to show you how caring he really is. Good luck to anyone having surgery and to those of you who are contemplating it, please go to Dr. Adeyeri's seminar and see for yourself just how good he really is.

The Dictir and staff had great empathy and concrn for my well being. M Gastric Btpass Surgery eas explained rhouroughly and had me go into pyeperation several weeks before my actual procedure. My surgery itself was easy and within a day I was walking comfortably . In three Days after checking/Tests I was home , starting my home recovery plan and starting my new "life". Dr A and Staff are TOP Notch IMO.

I had my surgery March 2014 thanks to Dr Adeyeri. From my first visit I knew he was the doctor or me. My first impression was wow he is so knowledgeable. He answered every single question I had. I cant say enough good things about this doctor. He makes you feel imortant and very comfortable. Dr Adeyeri makes sure you understand everything about the surgery, You even have to take a test to make sure you totally understand. After you answer all the questios Dr Adeyeri goes over all your answers with you. The staff in the Holmdel office go above and beyond. I love his staff. Dr Adeyeri doesent do the surgery and then forget about you, he always reminds you to go the the meetings they have once a month. He told me he would be in my life for a long time to make sure I stay on track. Dr Adeyeri is a wonderful doctor he is a great surgern and has a wonderful bedside manner. What more can you ask from a doctor. I would recommed him to anyone who is conderding Bariatric surgery. Honestly in my opion I cant think of one negative thing to say about Dr Adeyeri or his staff. I would Thank you Dr A you truely are the best and you changed my life (for the good) forever. THANK YOU!!

my first impression of Dr Adeyeri was great just another doctor who has to many patients. my impression changed when I was one on one with him. Dr Aderyeri took the time to get to know me as a person first not just one of his patients he wanted to know a little about me and my family, my health. His office staff is the amazing the take the time to get to know u and help you in everyway possible and go above and beyond. I would recommend anybody to him in a heartbeat!!!! After my surgery he really keeps a close eye on you and makes sure you get the help you need. He also has a long structured aftercare program. He also talks to you about the risk of each surgery and what compliucations can happen and explains which surgery is for you and he also takes the time to make sure you understand when you leave his office. my overall rating of him and his staff is 10 out of 10

I am five days into my bariatric by-pass surgery and thank the Lord I feel great. Dr. Ayotunde Adeyeri is my surgeon and I could not have chosen a more competent surgeon if I scoured the world. He was right here in my 'own back yard'. My very first meeting with the Dr., I was treated as though I were his only patient, he listened to my questions and concerns and took every bit of the time I needed to have those answers. He never 'sugar coated' anything, and that is exactly what I wanted to hear; what I wished to hear. He went over all of the pros and cons of each different type of surgery and all of the risks in a clear cut, but extremely understandable explanations. His demeanor during further pre-op visits never change, always caring, calming, but always 'on point', again no sugar coating, I was so grateful for that and always left his office sure I was doing the right thing and more importantly, had the right surgeon! If I could sit for a year and think about anything I may have found negative about MY Dr., it would be a year wasted. He is exactly the kind of Dr. you want to encounter when you finally make a life decision such as bariatric surgery. Plain and simple, the best.

I cannot say enough about his office staff, Maya and Melissa are pure angels, always willing to answer a question at each phone call and can be reached any time of the day. If there is such a thing as being overly helpful, these women are just that, to them, there was never a dumb question and they let you know that.

If you have made the Bariatric decision for yourself, please think about choosing Dr. Ayotunde Adeyeri, I promise you, throughout your journey, you will never be disappointed with your choice. He emphasizes a very structured aftercare program, but, it is one that is so easy to fit into you 'new life' lifestyle. When I first heard it, I thought to myself, "boy, am I going to be able to adhere to this" and when I finally got to the point of having the surgery done, the aftercare was a no-brainer, totally fit into my mindset and my new lifestyle.

Dr. Ayotunde Adeyeri Is the General amongst the army of bariatric surgeons out there, in my opinion the best you can ever hope to find helping you. Believe me, I am a total research freak, everything I've read about this man came true in my encounters with him, even from the very first! His competency is far above the normal expectation you want and need in a surgeon, I would recommend him without batting an eye, he truly is, the best! God bless you Dr. Adeyeri, and thank you for giving me a better quality of life!

When I took the decision to have the bariatric by-pas surgery I was 304 lbs, Nov. 15 2013 a friend recommended Dr. Adeyeri, so I went to see him and i didn't think it twice, he explained to me the risks and the best surgery for my self, the goods and the bad things if I don't follow all the instructions after surgery, his staff mara and melissa where the best staff I ever know, very helpful they give me all the information need it, always in contact, today 7/11/14 i have lost 84 lbs and keep losing weight. Dr. Adeyeri Thank you very much, your program aftercare is been wonderful, I will recommend him any time,
I'm very happy with the result.

I first consulted Dr Adeyeri after finding out that I needed a revision of my gastric bypass. The original surgery was performed in 2005, by a different surgeon, and since then, I have developed a marginal ulcer, which led to a severe anastomotic stricture. I had become unable to hold down any food, and almost no fluids. This led to repeated hospitalizations for dehydration.
I began looking for a surgeon who specializes in revisions, and found Dr Adeyeri's OH profile. I found nothing but positive reviews, and was very impressed by what I read.
I made a appointment for a consult, which was handled very quickly, by his wonderful office staff, after I explained my situation.
Upon meeting Dr Adeyeri, I was very impressed with his professionalism and his bedside manner. He was obviously very knowledgable when it comes to the intricacies of such a complex surgery. He explained everything to me in detail, and made sure to answer all of my questions. I decided then and there, to have him perform my surgery.
I scheduled it for June, but after another hospitalization, it became clear that it needed to be done right away. Mara and Melissa worked very quickly to get it approved through my insurance, for May 1.
I had my revision on May 1, and Dr Adeyeri had his work cut out for him. The surgery took 4 hours, due to lots of scar tissue adhesions, and a hiatal hernia that needed to be repaired, along with the original issues we knew about going in.
My recovery has been extremely smooth, with very little pain, and I'm looking forward to being back to normal soon.
Dr Adeyeri and his staff are fantastic, and I highly recommend him for any bariatric or general surgery.

Dr. Adeyeri is the best ever!! I had my gastric sleeve surgery in September 2013 and have never looked back. Dr. Adeyeri is an excellent surgeon with a very kind demeanor and a great bedside manner. He reviews everything in great detail and makes you feel extremely comfortable. His staff is the best. They are all very kind and caring. Having my surgery was the best decision I ever made. I wish I did it years ago. Thank you Dr. Adeyeri!!

My weight loss surgery experience couldn't have been better!!
My first appointment to see Dr. Adeyeri was the week before Thanksgiving and my surgery happened on February 26th! The office is so efficient and EXTREMELY friendly. Every time that I called they remembered me and never made me feel uncomfortable. The quickness of my surgery was also part of me making appointments for pre surgery testing the very next day after my first visit, the office can't do everything, so remember, start immediately with pre surgery appointments!
Dr. Adeyeri himself is a powerful presence and genuinely sweet man. He made me feel very comfortable about the surgery and did a fantastic job. He offers support groups and has a nutritionist on staff.
I would recommend Dr. Adeyeri's office to any patient a thousand times over.

I went to my first bariatric surgery appointment with Dr. Adyeri with little knowledge of the types of surgeries available to me and what the possible outcomes may be. From my first meeting Dr. Adyeri made me feel comfortable and that I had made the best choice for me. After that initial appointment he asked me to go home and do research on each of the 3 types of surgeries and decide which one was best. I attended Dr. Adyeri's seminar as well as a support group that he suggested I attend to talk to people who have gone through all 3 types of surgeries. The surgery itself went seamless. I was in moderate pain the first 2 days while in the hospital and then the pain subsided drastically. Dr. Adyeri checked on me the afternoon after the surgery and the day after to make sure I was feeling ok as well as getting up and walking. It has been 2 weeks since my surgery and I know that I made the best choice for myself, not only with the choice of the sleeve, but with my choice of surgeons as well. I don't think I would have been as well prepared for this surgery, both physically and mentally, if I had chosen a different surgeon.
