Jackie S: LAP-BAND Success
Posted: Sep 02 in Success Stories tagged LAP-BAND by admin
The heaviest I have ever been was 305 pounds. I was in a horrific motor vehicle accident that caused me to be immobile for 7 ½ months and all I did was eat and eat. After seeing Dr. Cywes at Jacksonville Weight Loss, I knew that the Lap-Band® was for me.
On November 13, 2008 I had the surgery done by Dr. Cywes. Since the surgery, I have lost over 160 pounds in less than two years. As of today I am 144 pounds. I run 4 to 5 miles 3 times a week and cycle 15 miles 3 times a week. I eat healthy and do not eat when I am stressed anymore. My children love the fact that I am able to play and do more activities with them.
If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would.
Thank you Dr. Cywes and the staff at Jacksonville Weight Loss.

Hello my name is Tracey and I first went to Dr. Cywes in 2005 and asked for help. I was tired of being overweight and not doing things with my kids like a mother should. I first explored having the gastric bypass surgery done and I didn’t like the information that was given to me. Then I went to Dr. Cywes and said I was interested in the Lap-Band and asked if I could have it done.

There is a certain vulnerability when talking about the struggles of being overweight. Not everyone has walked a day in your shoes, but most can understand and sympathize where you have come from.
Life before the surgery was a struggle. I was teased in school, I felt the uncomfortable stares and snickers when eating at a restaurant, and would even stare at my feet when I walked to avoid the looks from people that I walked by. To me, I always saw judgment on their faces.

On May 25th 2008 – I gave myself a reality check; I felt unhealthy, unhappy and frankly unrecognizable – and realized I must have missed a step in my own personal well being and it was time I took control of my life, finally! I decided to clean house – internally – started by getting rid of my excuses, then my fears and finally stuck to a diet plan which gave me small results.

I have struggled with my weight most of my adult years. After quitting smoking in the early 90’s, I have gained and lost more weight than I care to think about. I tried many diets only to gain back more weight than I lost. After having severe sleep apnea, high blood pressure and trouble bending over to tie my shoes, I decided to do something about it. My sleep apnea doctor recommended that I contact Dr. Cywes to see about getting the Lap Band.
