Oluseun Sowemimo, MD FACS

I am a board-certified and fellowship-trained general, laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon specializing in minimally invasive weight loss surgery, hernia and gallbladder surgery. I am committed to helping people change their lives by losing and maintaining weight through bariatric surgery, healthy nutrition and exercise strategies. In 2022, I launched Dr. Seuns Weight Loss Plan, an online learning course that delivers four simple and effective tools to lose weight, keep the weight off, and defend against chronic diseases related to excess weight. I have been featured on News 12 NJ, CBS and NY1 television and authored articles for the Asbury Park Press, Readers Digest, Yahoo.com and Obesity Help. Currently, I serve as the medical director of the Bariatric Surgery Program at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold, NJ, and am on staff at Hackensack Meridian Health. I am the medical director at two private practices, Prime Surgicare and Central Jersey Bariatrics, with offices in Freehold and Jackson, New Jersey. I completed fellowship training in advanced minimally invasive (laparoscopic), robotic and open bariatric surgery at the Yale University School of Medicine at the Hospital of St. Raphael, New Haven, CT, and a general surgery internship and residency training at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, Harlem Hospital Center, New York, where he was also appointed Chief Resident. My medical degree was earned at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos; surgical training at the Royal College of Surgeons of England; and clinical clerkships at Kings College Hospital, both in London. In addition to giving professional and patient-focused presentations at medical society and national meetings, I am actively involved in several professional healthcare organizations: American Medical Association (AMA); Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons; Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons; American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgeons; American College of Surgeons. Finally, I am married with three children. I enjoy a good round of tennis, long-distance cycling and exercising with my bariatric patients on one Saturday morning each month. I subscribe to a whole food plant-based diet, which transformed my health since 2018 and inspired me to launch an online course, Dr. Seuns Weight Loss Plan https://drsweightloss.teachable.com/ in 2022.
