Every day, we're inspired watching our Mercer County-area patients take charge of their health and their lives, and are privileged to help guide that transformation. We invite you to share in their stories with bariatric surgeon, Sheetal Njhawan, M.D., and her team at Sharon Regional. And remember: you, too, can have life-changing success.
J.H., Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve
Dr. Nijhawan and her gastric sleeve procedure have given me the tool that I needed to finally lose the weight. At almost nine months out from surgery, I have lost 113 pounds and am only 19 pounds from my goal weight. My future has never looked so bright, and I’m excited to continue on this path of healthy living.
L.M., Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
The Sharon Regional Bariatric Program is second to none! Four weeks post gastric bypass surgery I was doing great. Dr. Sheetal Nijhawan is awesome! Her expertise and professionalism led to a very positive surgical experience for me. The bariatric coordinator, dietitian, and the entire surgical staff at Sharon Regional were helpful, supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. I highly recommend the program.
M.W., Laparoscopic Gastric Sleeve
I started the program at Sharon Regional to qualify for bariatric surgery six months before undergoing "the sleeve" procedure. My family doctor was intimately familiar with the process of getting approval for the surgery and coordinating with the bariatric surgery team of Dr. Nijhawan, so the approval and preparation stages went extremely smoothly.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, who was involved in the process for acceptance, performing the procedure, follow-up care in the hospital and after discharge, was top notch; they are just plain wonderful people. The care at Sharon Regional by their staff during my recuperation was caring, thoughtful and outstanding. The surgical team, headed by Dr. Nijhawan, was wonderful, completely competent and reassuring. My thanks to them all with a special shout-out to Dee, their extremely knowledgeable and caring dietitian, and Linda, their patient coordinator, as well as to Dr. Nijhawan, whose competence and knowledge I cannot praise enough.
In six months I have lost more than 100 pounds and I am still losing according to plan and eating healthy balanced meals as a result of making the decision to change my lifestyle and habits to become healthier and happier. Their program works if you put in the time, effort, and discipline.
Sharon Regional's follow-up with me during these months has been constant and well done. I totally recommend these people and their bariatric surgery program.
