Robert Cywes

" I really respect and admire my brilliant surgeon. I hope and pray that he won't have to come to a point where he has too many patients and can't do my fills anymore. I credit a good part of my success so far to wanting to prove to him that I take this seriously and I really look forward to my visits. I also don't want anyone else doing my fills. I NEED him to do my fills. I am a big wimp, but he knows what he is doing and has my trust and confidence. I am soooo glad I selected him. I truly believe that he is the best, not just in Jacksonville but in the United States! He has so much experience and is very intelligent. He really understands the psychology behind carbohydrate addiction. I can't reccomend him enough. At first I was going to go with Dr. Webb, and I'm sure he is a good surgeon, but he does more bypass surgeries than band surgeries. I am so glad that I went to Dr. C's seminar and made the switch!! Lap Band surgery is the only bariatric surgery he does. He has done over 1000 and has been very successful. The lap band is a great tool, but if not placed properly it isn't going to work properly. Choosing the right surgeon is the most important step you can take to ensure your best shot at success. He has free seminars at Memorial Hospital. You owe it to yourself to attend one of the seminars. He also has free monthly support group meetings at his office and these meetings are great and really help with the process. I think his staff is awesome and has always been helpful and nice. Yes, there is often a wait to see the doc, but it is worth the wait. Jodi and Dana both work for him and one of them always facilitate the support group meetings. I am greatful for their dedication to helping me and the other patients. The folks at the meetings are great too. It is nice to be able to support one another and share tips, advice and even clothes!! Did I mention that I love Dr. Cywes? I have been praying for a miracle my whole life, and Dr. Cywes is my miracle!! rn"
