I have to admit, it took me a very long time to come to terms with taking the step to surgery. I have always had to watch my weight and be very diligent in keeping it down. But, after my auto accident in 2016, I could no longer work or be as mobile as I was because of the injury from my accident. Needless to say, my weight ballooned up to a number I had never ever imagined I would see. I walked into Dr. Sadek's office for the 1st time at the end of June 2019. The staff and the doctor that I saw were so sweet and nice to me. I felt so welcomed right from the start. The doctor said to me we'll help you feel better. On my last visit before my surgery, i got on the scale, and the doctor cheered me on. telling me I was killing it! I had lost 27lbs already and had not had my surgery yet. He told me how proud of me he was and hugged me. Not once was I ever made to feel uncomfortable by the doctors or any of the staff. 10/2/19 was my sleeve surgery. The first few days after surgery were a little difficult, simply because of the pain and discomfort of having surgery. But when I called the staff with my questions and inquiries, the staff were always welcoming and always answered whatever they could for me, and the doctors always responded back to me very quickly. I can not say enough about the doctors and the staff in Dr. Sadek's office. They are all wonderful and I am very glad for taking this step and doing the process.

I couldn't be more happy about the decision I made after meeting with Dr Sadek and having gastric sleeve surgery!
This surgery has changed my health and my life forever! Diets did not work for me and the what I lost if I lost anything at all always came right back!
I am 3 years post op now and kept off and maintained my weight with no problems or issues!
Meeting Dr Sadek was truly a blessing to me and my family! I am like a new person and so much healthier now! My family and I are always out and about in the go and enjoying so many things together that were just not fun with a lot of extra weight!
Thank you Dr Sadek and all of Advanced Bariatric Surgical Group and Staff!!!!
Dr.Sadek and his TEAM is superb! I am a high risk patient. Dr. Sadek left no stone unturned with my clearances and weight lose prior to surgery. The Surgical Team was super--knowledgeable,skilled, compassionate, and empathetic. Dr. Melman cared for me while overnight in RWJ at New Brunswick. Whenever I had a need after surgery, she was there to HELP immediately. No one could have taken better care of me than TEAM SADEK! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM! Thank you Dr. Sadek and staff. You have and shall be their for me, as I continue on this journey.

I would highly recommend Dr Sadek and his team for weight loss surgery! They have changed my life in so many ways I never thought possible. The office staff is very courteous and professional . They're willing to go above and beyond to help you throughout the entire process. Pre and post surgery I would call with questions - they answered every question and made me feel like I was not a burden. I've dealt with other medical offices where the staff are a nightmare to deal with and so rude. Not Dr Sadek or his team!! They take the time to help you with your life long journey. I've met with everyone on the team in Dr Sadeks office and it has been a pleasure to deal with them over the last 16 months. If you're considering weight loss surgery, this is the place to go!!! They're Absolutely the best!!!
