"My path towards lifetime health began almost 5 months before my surgery date of Feb. 5, 2015. I had been thinking about bariatric surgery for years but ironically wasn't overweight enough. I used to joke that maybe I should binge eat until I qualified! I never really thought I would get to that point but after 40 years of yo-yo dieting, I was there, along with co-morbidities and the promise of others to come.
In October 2014, I went to see Dr. Adeyeri. He has 3 different offices, super convenient for scheduling appointments. I went to both Freehold and Old Bridge. I had done my research and knew which surgery I wanted but we discussed the other options as well. Dr. Adeyeri made sure I would choose the correct surgery for ME. I could see his passion for helping the obese patient manage a problem that many people blame on overeating and laziness. For the first time, I felt hope that I wasn't destined to continue getting bigger and sicker. I left his office feeling determined to take control of my health.
Throughout this process, Dr. Adeyeri and his staff were WONDERFUL. I have had many nice doctors but sometimes the staff can be difficult. NOT HERE! Everyone was warm and welcoming and helpful EVERY TIME I went there. Dibs to Mara, Melissa, and Lori. A special shout out goes to Maureen at Raritan Bay Medical Center. She was and still is a wonderful asset to Dr. Adeyeri and the hospital .
Don't be afraid to take control of your own health and if you are considering bariatric surgery consult with Dr. Adeyeri. You won't be disappointed."
