I want to thank Dr Sadek and his support staff for making this process seamless. I had surgery one week ago and cannot be happier with how I am feeling. I was very prepared for what I needed to do immediately post surgery and I am confident with regards to what I need to do moving forward in order to be successful.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, your program and your resources.

The Experience with Dr.Sadek and his staff was outstanding however, Our family was devastated to be told after 6 months and 22 doctor's appointment that the insurance would not cover the surgery 5 days before the scheduled date. That alone was mentally tormenting. As a family it became a financial decision to that ultimately affect Leslie emotionally. It was a grand financial sacrifice for the health of Leslie and her mental well being. Dr. Sadek and his team are excellent but I it would be a suggestion especially when working with young people,who,are having social issues eating with weight that if there is a possibility that it will be denied that family are told in the beginning so that their hopes are not thwarted at the 11th hour.

I had a great experience with Dr. Sadek. He's an expert in his field. Not only does he take the time to answer all questions I had, but he offers long term follow up with support groups to connect with people going through the same experience. In the hospital, he stopped to see me and assured me that all would be well. He was positive and encouraging. He works closely with ancillary staff so that the entire experience in cohesive, and you leave with an action plan. I look forward to working with him throughout the rest of the process of adjusting to my new life with a gastric sleeve. Thank you, Dr. Sadek!

I had debated weight loss surgery for over a year and had consulted another surgeon before meeting with Dr. Sadek. Dr. Sadek was very professional and understanding during my consultation. He went out of his way to make me feel comfortable with making this life changing decision.
I had my surgery last week and I feel fantastic. I had no nausea or pain after surgery.
