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 _ 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.

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.

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.

Pam: LAP-BAND Success

About 2 years ago I was faced with an incredible dilemma. I was totally unhappy. I did not feel good physically with daily aches and pains just from getting out of bed. I had no energy to meet the demands of being a mother, a wife or a friend. Emotionally, I had very low self-esteem; I was tempermental and detached from my husband. I was working in a very stressful and demanding position as a Nurse Manager. My week was extremely busy with juggling work, husband, and raising two kids. In addition to all of the weekly pressures I was also more than 100 pounds overweight.

For years I tried every diet imaginable and have gone to multiple doctors. I had high blood pressure and the last straw was when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I have two young girls and it was at that point that I realized if I did not do something I would not be able to fulfill my role as their mother. This Lap-Band surgery has given me my life back. I am able to fit on rides with my family and I am able to keep up with them. Thanks to Dr. Cywes and staff. God bless you all.

My name is Kathy and this is a story about how I got my life back.

Let me start by explaining how I reached 275 pounds. Over a six month period, I lost both my brother and husband of 30 years. A few months later, I lost my mother. I went into a deep depression and gained more and more weight. Soon, I couldn’t walk very far and had trouble breathing because of all of the weight I had gained.

At the time I was seeking help, I was a 36-year-old morbidly obese single mother of two boys. I had multiple co-morbidities. My obesity started with my first pregnancy. At the beginning of my pregnancy I weigh approximately 180 pounds and at my height was still considered to be overweight. By the time I delivered my first child, I weighed 263 pounds. I only lost 20 lbs. after delivery.
