I had been seriously considering gastric bypass surgery for several years but always hestitated due to the invasive nature of the traditionally performed procedure. My other concern was follow-up, continuing education and support. This website is fantastic but attending monthly support meetings with local people you can see and with which you can converse put me at ease. The initial informational session conducted by Dr.Adeyeri and his nurses (offered monthly) thoroughly explains the three most frequently performed weight loss surgeries describing the pros while not sugar coating all possible complications (some are very rare) and dangers. This is a life changing (positive for me and most bariatric patients) and life altering surgery but should not be embarked upon cavalierly! I needed to feel that my surgeon was not selling me just a pretty bill of goods. I was impressed by Dr. Adeyeri's seriousness, knowledge, honesty and positivity. When he said that there'd be lifetime follow-up and support I knew I'd found my surgeon. I needed the surgery because I have suffered from polycystic ovarian sydrome (PCOS) since my teens, was very morbidly obese weighing 130+ lbs over my idea weight, had developed often uncontrollable HBP, high cholestrol, severe joint pain especially of the knees and hips but also recently my arms/shoulders, asthma, migranes and sleep apnea. Due to the PCOS had increased risk factors for stroke, heart attack or developing diabetes; not a pretty health picture! Though Dr. Adeyeri is extermely busy- dividing his time between three offices, the surgical suite and visitng his patients at two hospitals- he is always patient asking if there is anything else need to ask or discuss during every visit. When I was seen for my initial post-surical follow-up he again said to me "You know, you're stick with me for life" I knew I'd made the right choice- you are never truly released Dr. Adeyeri wants to ensure you're successful now and 10 years from now. As usual, he reminded me to come to our next support meeting. I know many people who have had this and other weight loss surgeries and this kind of care and follow-up is unheard of. No of them received support approaching this level. If you are considering weight-loss surgery snd live in New Jersey go to Dr. Adeyeri's informational session and attend a support meeting. You'll know you've come to the right place and you found your surgeon! I wish I'd found Dr. Adeyeri sooner as I would had have my surgery long ago. I am delighted with my decision it has only been ten days but I can now walk over an hour daily, feel FANTASTIC and younger than I have felt in a long, long time. My mind is clear, I'm sleeping better, my BP is already lower and my back, body and joints are no longer sore and constantly aching. I can BREATHE! I"M ALIVE AGAIN! This is what my surgery has done for me-I HAVE NOT FELT TRULY ALIVE IN A LONG TIME! THANK YOU LORD for putting Dr. Adeyeri and his team in my path- THANK YOU for the second chance to LIVE MY LIFE- AGAIN THANK YOU Dr. Adeyeri for changing my life for the BETTER!
Sincerely,
Karen S

Before I met Dr, Adeyeri, I was a prime candidate for a stroke or heart attack. Dr. Adeyeri is a caring and compassionate person. All my questions and concerns were addressed quickly and professionally. He used his charts and literature to explain exactly what he was going to do. His staff was helpful and friendly as well.

My original surgery was scheduled for 5/30/12. I made it to the second floor, (about 50 ft. from the operating room) when the anesthesiologist recommended I reschedule until I had the loose tooth stabalized or pulled. What a major disappointment. Dr. Adeyeri said not to worry, he would work it out. He was booked solid for the next couple of months. I had the tooth pulled, and then got a call from Mara. They would be able to squeeze me in next week--YAHOO.

My surgery was successful and now three weeks later I feel great. Thank you Dr. Adeyeri and staff. You were all wonderful. I finally feel like I'm on track to a healthier and happier life.

I had my bariatric surgery only 3 weeks ago at centerstate hospital in Freehold,N.J. The staff was very pleasant and met all my needs. My surgeon was top- notch. Dr. Adeyeri is a compassionate surgeon who really shows he cares. He knew my concerns I had due to past family issues with bariatric surgery, but Dr. Adeyeri made me feel comfortable and more convinced that this surgery would help me in the long run. I have had no bad effects post surgery, I feel great, and I look at each day in a new way. thank you Dr. Adeyeri for coming into my life. You have given me the chance to be around to see my grandbaies have babies of their own. I would highly recommend you to any person seeking to have weight loss surgery. Thank you,Jacqueline Cobilla

Dr. Adeyeri did my surgery a year ago in July. He has a great bedside manner and always takes my concerns seriously. I like his matter of fact attitude. I defiantly would suggest him to someone who is looking into bariatric surgery.

Let me start off by saying 5 stars doesn't do Dr. Adeyeri justice (there really should be 100 star rating). He really takes his time with you, very informative, and reassuring. As an 23 year old female women, never in a million years would I have ever consider this surgery, but thanks to my mother who also was under the care of Dr. Adeyeri has no regrets. It's been 3 months and I feel great and my health issue from the past is finally on track.

When I decided to have weight loss surgery I called Dr Washington office for an appointment. When I was told that he no longer was with the group, I made the appointment anyway, not knowing Dr Adeyeri. Well! to my delightful surprise, it was like hitting the lottery! At the first visit to the office he took the time to explain everything to my husband and I,he answered all our questions honestly even if it wasn't what we wanted to hear.
On June 23rd I had my gastric sleeve surgery done. I had never had any surgery before, so I was quite apprehensive. Dr Adeyeri kind and caring manner was so comforting.
Dr Adeyeri was always available to answer all my questions as the arised before and after surgery. I am now 9 months out and have lose 95 lbs. I fell great! and I owe it all to Dr Adeyeri.

I had Gastric Bypass surgery with Dr. Adeyeri on March 15th. He and his office are very professional and helpful to work with. He does the surgery laprascopically so there are only small scars on your stomach.

While it is less than 2 weeks since surgery, all is going well with no complications. If you live in Central NJ, I would suggest checking out Dr. Adeyeri's office when doing your research of doctors.
