I had my surgery on 1/13/2014 and without the doctor and his staff I would never have been able to do this this office is amazing they know you by name and they treat you like family from the time you walk in till the time you leave they go that one more step for you and you feel so safe knowing they have your back without the help on this office and the doctor I would still be living an unhealthy lifestyle and I thank them every day that I am able to live a better life I have always been happy but this has just made my life mean so much more the day of my surgery I was so scared but dr sowemimo helped me feel so much better before and after he is an amazing doctor and he knows his stuff and I knew I was in good hands he made sure I was ok from start to finish the surgery was easy and recovery time is even better by the end of the first week I felt so much better and I know I will just keep feeling better thank you again Dr. Sowemimo and staff!!!
I love Dr. Suen and his staff. Everyone here is so sweet and helpful. I have had weight issues my entire life and now thanks to Dr Seun I am the lightest I have been in years. I am so grateful to all of them for helping through this journey.
Hello Dr. Seun -
It's now 13 months post surgery and all I can say is... WOW!!!!! On Dec 5, 2012 I went "under the knife" and very skilled hands of Dr. Seun. On Dec 6, 2012 I wondered what did I do and will this be worth it. Well... 13 months and 150 lbs later I can definitely say YES YES YES!!! Here are body stats pre-surgery... 6'4", 340lbs. 20" neck, size 52 - 54 jacket, size 48 pants (getting a visual?) Today I'm still 6'4", but that's where the similarity ends! 195lbs, 15" neck, size 42 jacket, size 34 pants.. what a difference! No more cholesterol medicine (down to normal), no more blood pressure medicine (better than normal), no more heart medicine.. nothing!
At this point in my life, I'm the healthiest I've ever been.. and I owe it all to my decision to have BP surgery done by Dr. Seun. Thanks, Doc! You're the best! See you in 6 months
From the minute I met Dr. Seun, i felt that I was in the hands of a master. Calm and confident, I got the sense that nothing could possibly go wrong. THEN I have my first office visit. It was wonderful that the entire team (YES, TEAM...not just a "staff") was there to guide me through the whole process, answer every question, and tolerate every phone call. This, to me, gives credit to the entire organization, top down. Today I'm one week postop and I feel like a new man. My wife is waiting for me to be "half the man" I was before surgery. :)
Thank you Dr. Seun for helping me through this journey.
Sincerely,
Todd Styles
Dr, Seun was caring and a great listener from my first visit, he did not try to talk me into any procedure that I did not come there for. great bed side manners and great personallity and that goes a long way, If you have any doubts about what procedure your are thinking of he will take his time with you, I am so glad I chose Dr seun.
Hi guys first time visitor here, but I really wanted to share my experience with Dr. Sowemimo. I am 22 yrs old, which I know for most of you sounds so young to be having surgery, but I have been heavy all my life and had tried literally everything to lose weight. I went to Dr. Seun because I knew I had to lose weight because I knew my luck of good health was going to run out. He walked me though the process and after my first meeting we both came to the decision that the sleeve would be the best option for me. Six months after that first meeting and after loads of support and advise I went under for the sleeve. I am not going to lie the first day or two sucked but I received first rate treatment and care from Doc and the entire staff. After a few days I was almost as good as knew. I just want to say thanks to Dr. Seun and this office for making this intimidating experience the best it could possibly be.
It's all about making choices....you can choose to continue down the road your on or you can take control over your life. I decided to take control with the help of Dr. Sowemimo. From the first visit to through surgery and follow-up Dr. Seun has been wonderful. The entire staff in fact helps to boost you through success. I am now at one year and I feel great. My success has allowed me to get back to life as I once knew it and to inspire others to take steps to improve their lives. The tools that I have been given (surgery, support and follow-up visits) are the key to my success. Dr. Seun is the foundation and the relationships he builds with his patients are solid and unwavering. I wish he could be my one and only doctor, that would be a dream come true.
I have never been happier with a doctor in my entire life. From our very first appointment I felt comfortable and able to talk to him about anything. The surgery was as expected and his follow-up in hospital was really nice. He is a very busy man and I was pleased with the time taken with each visit. I can't wait to see the new me as the months go by. With Dr. Seun's help we have saved my life I'm sure. If you have doubts, or are just looking to find out more, attend one of his seminars and you won't look back. Update 4/10/13 in 3 months I am down just shy of 60 lbs and doing great. I have so much more energy and am just so much happier. With the support of Dr. Seun and his team I am doing great.
I have to say this has been the best experience of my new life! Dr. Sowemino and his office staff don't forget Julie the nutristionist, are AWESOME! They all are helpful with whatever your needs maybe. I've never been sick a day since I've had my sleeve done in Oct. I feel amazing and starting to look it. thank you to the amazing Dr. Sowemino and his staff to hold my hand thru my new life. I will extremely recommend Dr. Sowemino if you are considering bariatric surgery!
I am still ecstatic about the positive life changes resulting from my decision to have bariatric surgery (Gastric Sleeve). I reached a plateau 6 months after surgery that lasted 5 months. I was discouraged that I had not reached my goal 12 months after surgery, but was still able to maintain the weight lost; fluctuating within 5 lbs. Then after a week of increased movement, I noticed the plateau resolved and I am now back on track with daily weight loss of 1-2 lbs. Lesson learned: Exercise must be a priority and increase with time to achieve my ultimate weight loss goal.
I was offended when I was not notified of the cancellation of my first Weight Loss information session for which I had preregistered. I did not expect a reply to the email I sent expressing my thoughts. And I decided to consider this omen as an excuse to exclude surgery as a weight loss option. But, to my surprise, Dr. Sowemimo sent a personal response that empathized with the frustration of my situation. I am so happy that I decided to meet and discuss my weight loss options with him.
During each conversation Dr. Sowemimo gives his full attention to answering all of my questions in detail and ensuring I fully understand. He demonstrates true concern for my health. His bedside manner is comforting and I feel very safe in his care. The Prime Surgicare staff are patient and supportive each and every time I call or visit the office. They ensure I understand all the procedures and instructions and assisted me with getting my referrals.
I have lost a significant amount of weight in the 6 weeks since my December 2012 surgery. The most exciting skill that has been restored is my ability to cross my legs painlessly to put on my socks and tie my shoes without holding my breath. I did not realize just how distressing my quality of life had become related to my obesity. And now my moans and groans of pain have been replaced with shouts of "Hallelujah" several times each day.
It will be a while before I can fully achieve my weight loss goals. But, I am off to an exciting and encouraging start. The task of making healthy eating choices is still challenging, but getting easier every day thanks to the Gastric Sleeve, my mirror image and the support of Doctor Sowemimo, his staff and my family.
dr. sowemimo is very personal with you and really cares that you are making the right choice for yourself. I had my operation 5 months ago and I have lost 53 pounds so far. I still have some weight to lose, but I am feeling great. I wish I had done this years ago because I am like a different person now. I had the sleeve done and I would refer anybody that is interested in having this procedure done to see Dr. Sowemimo.
If asked a year ago that I would be where I'm at today, I would not have believed it to be possible! My first visit with Dr. Seun was on March 1, 2013. He was gentle yet direct & very patient with my ignorance, answering all questions leaving me with much information as options. After a bit more research & attending seminars, I was assured gastric bypass would definitely be a benefit to my health situation. From there I went forward with all the necessary pre-op requirements and finally had my scheduled surgery on June 24, 2013. Today at my 6 month post-op visit, I am now off all insulins & oral meds for the diabetes (with morning readings now below 100). In fact my other meds list has been cut in half. I'm also a 126 lbs less. I now look forward to living life "off" the couch, walking, yes even in this brisk weather, am starting a muscle strengthening routine, & feel like a new person. I will be honest & tell you the road was a bit rough at times, but oh my so well worth it! I am humbled at the place I stand today. I am a person of faith & am so very thankful for this new chance I've been given at life. God has been so good to me to have put a gifted doctor in my path, one of integrity, one of such compassion for the trials & comorbities of the over-weight community. I live my life with much appreciation & gratitude to this wonderful doctor & my Lord! Thank you so much Dr Seun :)
