"Dr. Cywes performed my lap band surgery in November 2008 and helped me change my life. He gave me the tool to assist me and the knowledge to realize this was more than just a quick fix. Immediately after surgery, I was able to get his cell phone number and he will answer your call- not a random answering service! He's there for you when you need it, not just as a surgeon, but the follow up care is astounding. I've come to know Dr Cywes and his staff over the last few years and they are the best. I trust Dr Cywes and after i reached my goal weight, he performed my tummy tuck and he did an EXCELLENT job! Dr C goes above and beyond what a surgeon or doctor HAS to do. He does it because he wants to see us succed, and is there for the journey. My journey is not over, although I've lost over 100 lbs (took 9 months) there is maintence as there is no miracle for being fat. Dr. C, Jody and even Melissa are there for you always! Now that is service :)"
