Jason: Sleeve Success

My impression was that Dr.Cywes was highly competent but was uncomfortable with selling or promoting himself. I think that he vastly undersells his talents or the results of his work.

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.
