Joseph McPhee, age 55 and a professional account salesperson at Home Depot battled severe chronic back pain after an injury in 2014. Even after surgery in 2018, his mobility was limited, eventually requiring him to wear a leg brace. Not surprisingly, he slowly added weight over the years due to his chronic condition, sedentary job and normal aging.<\/p>\n

On and off for about 10 years, Joseph considered surgical weight loss as an option to lose weight after he surpassed 300 pounds on his 6\u20191\u201d frame. Even after scheduling bariatric surgery some years back, he cancelled the operation, not convinced it was right for him. But when Home Depot offered a fully-paid surgery program with $0 deductibles and $0 co-pays<\/span><\/a>, he took it as a sign to get his weight back on track.<\/p>\n

Putting an end to a 10-year surgery postponement<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In September 2023, He met with Dr. Seun Sowemimo<\/a>,<\/span> weighing 380 pounds, with worsening back pain and managing high cholesterol and high blood pressure. \u201cI have always received solid medical care and CentraState Medical Center, where Dr. Sowemimo is the head of the Bariatric Surgery program<\/span>.<\/a> After our first meeting, I knew this time I would go all the way and commit to the surgery,\u201d Joe recalls.<\/p>\n

By April 2024, Joe had completed his gastric sleeve surgery and had lost over 100 pounds, including a 20-pound weight loss before surgery. He no longer requires cholesterol or<\/strong> blood pressure medications.<\/p>\n

Joe recently posted this review about working with Dr. Seun and his Prime Surgicare team on Google Reviews:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sleeve surgery went perfectly with very little scarring. The staff is like Dr. Seun–very friendly. They are the best doctor\u2019s office I have ever been to. This was the best decision I ever made for myself. I would recommend everyone and anyone to go to them.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Sowemimo commends Joe for committing to his health<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were delighted that Joe committed to taking off the extra weight quickly and safely using bariatric surgery,\u201d Dr. Sowemimo explains. \u201cWe treat several people whose extra weight significantly increases their chronic back, hip or knee pain.\u201d Dr. Seun said that Joe\u2019s weight loss will reduce his back pain and help to extend his life span now that his blood pressure and cholesterol are normal.<\/p>\n

Transitioning to better health, improved nutrition, smaller clothing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Nutritionally, Joe implemented major improvements in his diet, thanks to working with the Prime Surgicare bariatric dietitians led by Prime Surgicare\u2019s bariatric dietitian partner Lauren Carey, RDN, and her LBS Nutrition<\/span><\/a> team. \u201cI was a huge soda drinker all day long,\u201d Joe notes. \u201cI can\u2019t say I completely stopped drinking it, but my consumption is only a fraction of what it was before weight loss surgery.\u201d Joe notes that his pants size has decreased from a 54 to a 42-44, and his shirt size decreased from a 4XT to a 2X or LV.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Joe plans to lose another 30-40 pounds to reach 220 pounds. With more than 100 pounds off his 6\u20191\u201d frame, it\u2019s easier and less painful for him to move throughout the store and easily complete his responsibilities at Home Depot.<\/p>\n

Finding bariatric support from the Prime Surgicare team<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe cited his appreciation to the entire Prime Surgicare team who supported him before, during and after his gastric sleeve surgery.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a real family atmosphere there, which you rarely experience in medical care,\u201d Joe notes. \u201cDr. Sowemimo is very down-to-earth and doesn\u2019t talk to you like a doctor, he talks to you like a person.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLaura, who works in the Freehold office and also had weight loss surgery, was a lifesaver for me, answering all my questions. Jenn was also very patient and helpful. They were both like my personal Support Group and I\u2019m very appreciative to them.\u201d (Due to his work schedule, Joe cannot attend the two monthly Bariatric Support Group meetings.)<\/p>\n

When asked for his advice for others considering surgical weight loss, Joe\u2019s answer was quick and direct: \u201cDon\u2019t overthink it and don\u2019t wait\u2014that\u2019s my only regret.\u201d<\/p>\n
