📲 I can honestly say that having gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Seun at Prime Surgicare was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I had my surgery on July 9, 2026, and I’ve already lost over 45 pounds.

While the number on the scale is exciting, it’s the everyday changes that have made the biggest difference in my life--

👉 I can now get up off the floor without leaning on something for support, tie a sweatshirt around my waist again, and enjoy life without constant joint pain.

👉 My confidence has improved so much, too. One of the biggest blessings has been being able to do more with my kids without my weight holding me back.

👉 It has given me a new sense of freedom, renewed confidence, and the opportunity to enjoy life in ways that were difficult for me before.

Thank you, Dr. Seun, and the entire team at Prime Surgicare for helping me take this step toward a healthier, happier life.

If you’re considering gastric sleeve surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Seun.

I only wish I had done it sooner! I’m excited to continue this journey and see what else life has in store for me and my family!"

👇 We could not agree more.
💪 Let's Do This--not just read it.

At 102-years-old, Kamada Nakasato from Okinawa, Japan, was still the village noro, which saw her fulfill the role of spiritual advisor to the townspeople. The fact that she retained this role into her 100s was important. She found purpose and was surrounded by a community that revered her wisdom and respected her life experiences.

🔷 As providers of GLP-1 weight loss medications tirzepatide and semaglutide, we want to share breaking educational news about these drugs, when pertinent--

Medscape reported this week that growing clinical evidence suggests certain GLP-1 therapies may also help slow the progression of chronic kidney disease—particularly among patients living with type 2 diabetes and existing kidney disease.

This does not mean every GLP-1 medication provides the same kidney benefits or is appropriate for every patient.

Treatment should be selected based on your complete health profile and monitored by an experienced medical provider.

👉 Visit primesurgicare.com to learn more about our physician-managed GLP-1 weight loss program and special offer for new clients, managed by Dr. Seun Sowemimo.

We file GLP-1s under "diabetes drugs" or "weight-loss drugs." Both labels are true. But data from the last 24 months show that these are kidney drugs.

Is robotic gallbladder surgery better than traditional laparoscopy?

A new systematic clinical review found no significant difference in overall complication rates or hospital stays. Laparoscopic gallbladder surgery remains the established, cost-effective, minimally invasive approach for most patients.

📅 One year can change everything.

⭐ Just ask Patricia McDonnell.

🎗️After surviving medullary thyroid cancer, Patricia faced another uphill battle. Because of her medical history, GLP-1 medications were not an option. At 236 pounds, chronic knee and joint pain had become so severe it was making two physically demanding careers increasingly difficult.

In May 2025, Patricia underwent gastric sleeve surgery with Dr. Seun Sowemimo.

Today, she is 9️⃣0️⃣ pounds lighter, pain-free, and no longer needs anti-inflammatory medication just to get through the day.

More importantly, she has transformed her entire lifestyle.

✔️ Whole-food, plant-based nutrition
✔️ Regular exercise
✔️ Better energy
✔️ A normal BMI
✔️ The healthiest she's been since high school

"I changed my whole lifestyle after I had bariatric surgery."

💡 Patricia's story is a reminder that successful weight loss isn't about finding a quick fix—it's about finding the right treatment for you and building healthy habits that last a lifetime.

If you've struggled to lose weight or have been told you're not a candidate for certain medications, there may be another path forward.

New clinical research found that early laparoscopic gallbladder removal for acute cholecystitis can shorten total hospital stays without increasing major complications.

Timely evaluation matters when gallbladder pain becomes persistent or severe.

Read the study: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42377519/

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy reduces hospital stay without increasing major morbidity or bile duct injury. Defining early surgery relative to hospital admission appears clinically practical and safe, supporting early intervention as the preferred strategy in appropriately resourced settings.
