I am being banded on Nov 5th. in Richardson, TX by Dr Richard Benavides. Looking for two things:
1. A mentor that has had success with the band
2. Others being banded in the area (Dallas, Plano, Allen area)

Hi all.
Well, I have surgery scheduled for November the 5th with Dr Richard Benavides at the Richardson Surgery Center. My pre-op diet starts on the 30th (no candy for me I guess!).
I'm a little nervous and a lot excited! A couple of questions:
1. I'm a big guy. Always have been. Played football in high school and still continue to eat like I did back then (I'm 35). My question: anyone else scared about not being able to eat big meals? I'm nervous I will not be "satisfied" with a small meal and fail.
2. I am finding that I'm eating like crazy right now. Anyone else "chow down" for the couple of weeks prior to the pre-diet and surgery? I keep telling myself that "this will be the last time I get to eat this" - I think I have gained a few pounds this week alone. I hope this is not an indication of how successful I will be after banded!
I look forward to posting more...after I am banded!!
