Anyone use Dr. Richard Benavides, True Results -Richardson TX?



Recommended Posts

My Hernia/LapBand surgery is scheduled for Friday March 20, 2015 ! So very excited. Flying to Dallax, TX from St. Louis, MO for the surgery. I can't believe True Results St. Louis/Dallas is making this happen for me! Just curious if anyone out there has had Dr. Benavides as a surgeon for the LapBand. Also on day 6 of my pre-op diet and it really sucks!! :P I just need to stay motivated and know that this is all for my better and that it will all be worth it one day.

Hi, how long did it take from your initial consultation to your EGD(I think thats what its called) to check for Hernia and for them to schedule to actual surgery? Im still waiting for a call back to schedule to check for hernia. :( Its going on a month now. Happy to hear your getting surgery! Are you going through the sleeve hernia program? Hope to hear from you soon!

I am going through True Results in Richardson for my sleeve surgery. I just got approved through insurance and am waiting on TR to call to schedule the surgery. Should be less than a month now. Yay! Best of luck to you.

I had my surgery 3/6/15, I'm from St. Louis and flew to Texas and had Dr. Benavides, I'm 12 days post/op and feel great!! The airplane ride home was pretty rough the next day but that's really my only complaint. Good luck I'm sure you will do great!!!

      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.
