Has anyone had their surgery at LapBand Solutions in Richardson, TX? My Dr. Richard Benavides will be performing the surgery and was just curious of your sucess's and any problems with this company or this Dr?

I appreciate all feedback...

I used Dr. Fox of Richardson, but I have heard great things about Benavides... DFW has so many wonderful doctors (and the occassional not-so-great ones) but I have heard great things about yours... You could probably do a search on here with his name and see if anybody else has posted about him too. Best of luck.

Good luck on your surgery! I am getting banded by Dr. Felts in the same office on Friday...I have heard wonderful things about both doctors as far as their ability to do a great procedure and good bedside manner and personality in general. As someone else suggested just search his name and you might find more information...

      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.
