Ragui Sadek MD, FACS Bariatric Surgeon Director of Bariatric Center of Excellence, RWJUH

I had Vertical Gastric Sleeve Surgery done on July 11, 2012 my started weight was 260lbs now March 11, 2013 my weight is 179lbs. Thanks to Dr. Sadek I am almost at my goal weight. He has been a great help and a great surgeon. He has been very outstanding.

Dr Sadek and his staff have been nothing short of amazing! I was a nervous patient but Dr Sadek's confidence put me right at ease. He explained everything, answered all of my questions and made sure I was comfortable with my decision. His staff was equally dedicated and showed great compassion in both pre and post op appointments. Dr Sadek has given me an opportunity to be healthy for life and a greater chance to start a family!

I went for a consultation as a fluke, not really believing I would ever go through with it. After meeting Dr. Sadek and getting into conversation about my long battle with being overweight and at that point considered obese, I realized what was sitting right in front of me. He was the answer to my prayers, an honest and real person as well as a knowledgable physician in the field. He listened and supported me 100% without making me feel pressured to go through with surgery if I was unsure. Two years later, I have lost 80 pounds and continue to find it easy to keep off. My speedy recovery and amazing doctor made this experience manageable. This was the best things I could have ever done and believe it is the best decision for anyone who has been fighting the same issues and need help at this point. Seeking a physician was the first step to my new life and I wouldn't trade my doctor from any other.....

Dr Sadek made me feel comfortable and assured me that I was making the right decision from the moment I first met him. He explained the all the options I had as well as what he thought would be best. I had the gastric sleeve on Aug 1 2012 and probably was one of the best decisions I made. I had high blood pressure, diabetes along with other health conditions but post surgery my BP has dropped significantly as well as my sugar. I have cut my medications in half. I thank Dr Sadek for helping me decide the right path. He as well as his office staff have been great as well as responding to any questions I have had throughout my journey. I would recommend dr. sadek to anyone that is thinking of having a gastric procedure.

My healthy journey(as I like to call it) began in October 2012. I was sick of feeling tired, having body aches and not being able to walk like a normal 43 year old women. I had high blood pressure and knew when I was told I was a diabetic I would never live to see my 10 year old grow up! So, I made a phone call and was told about a seminar this doctor was giving. I figured I'd just go to listen. I dragged my mother and we went. At that time I did not realize that that phone call would save my life.

I knew within 10 minutes of meeting Dr. Sadek I would have a gastric sleeve and hope. So did my mother. Upon going to his office we were introduced to a staff that have turned out to be professional, caring and the most helpful group I have come to know. Dr. Sadek, I can not begin to tell anyone how thoughtful, caring, kind and an amazing doctor he is. Through Dr. Sadek and his staff one knows they are in safe hands and have people in thier corner who truly want the best for them.

I am 5 weeks post surgery and have lost 50 lbs and my mom 30 lbs.
No words can explain how great we both feel. I take no diabetes medicine and my blood pressure is on its way back to normal. My mothers cholestrol has gone from 210 to 140 and she is off all medicine. I can walk with my daughter and have begun to do things I haven't be able to do in ages.

I would recommend biaratric surgery to anyone living with obesity and I would recommend Dr. Ragui Sadek to do it. He gives you the tools and understanding hand that you need to safe your life. Thank you Dr. Sadek for helping me save mine.

I had my surgery(gastric bypass) at the end of September 2012. The results so far are amazing. My first appointment Dr. Sadek explained the different bariatric surgeries and which would be best for me. He was very helpful. The staff at the office was helpful with all the insurance and disability paperwork. Even now 4 months post surgery he still is supportive. The actual surgery went well, I was out of the hospital the following day and feeling great. I consider bedside manner is just as important as surgical skill and I definitely feel I got the best of both.

Yes I like Dr. Sadek professionalism , his knowledge . I would recommend him for any type of bariatric surgery he talks and listen and will recommend which is the best for you. He is awesome

Dr. Sadek has been great. Surgery went well without any complications. I would recommend him to anyone.

I had gastric sleeve surgery oct 12 2011

I would recommend Dr Sadek he is a great and very caring
This made my life so much better

I had my surgery done about 4 months ago Dr. Sadek was great. From the initial consultation where he told me which surgery would be best for me and why he was great he explained everything to me. He answered every question I had for him confidently which made me feel good. I never had any doubt about wether or not he knew what he was talking about excellent consultation. Through out the time I was going to my different doctors to get approved for surgery I had visits with him as we'll as questions came he answered. Then the day of my surgery I wasn't nervous at all he came in recapped what he was about to do and about an hour later my surgery was done. I had just about no pain. Dr. Sadek came and made sure I was ok in recovery as well as the following morning (and I was). Dr. Sadek is an excellent doctor very very supportive as well as accurate. I would and I Do recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great doctor to do their weight loss surgery. Today is January 17th I'm down just about 60 pounds and counting ALL THANKS TO DR. SADEK I am a very satisfied patient.
