Dr. Robert Cywes - VERY VERY happy I went with Dr.Cywes!!



Recommended Posts

I have decided to have my surgery with dr. Cywes also. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I am currently getting all the pre-op stuff done. Like, chest x-ray, blood work, psych, etc. I go for my second appt with Dr. C January 5. I hope to have a surgery date soon after that.

It is great hearing such positive things about the doctor I have chosen.

Good Luck to everyone. I am so happy that everyone is doing so well.

Any recent bandsters with Dr. Cywes? Share your experience! Did anyone do theirs at Shands?

I am a patient of Dr Cywes. My procedure was done at Jacksonville Surgery Center. They are a very busy office and have the process down to a science. He's a decent guy but he talks fast so you gotta pay attention. He talks about how we are addicted to carbohydrates and focuses a lot on that. He's a good guy and I recommend his practice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
