Dr. Richard Benevedes



Recommended Posts

Is/was he your doctor? I'm looking for a friend that has the same doctor. I was advised to find some of his patients because we have the same expectations. It's hard to compare my weight loss to others because each doctor requires something different.

Dr. Benavides is my Dr. at True Results and am very happy. From seeing some of the posts on here and the uneducated banders, I wonder did they not listen to what they could eat and do or not do after their surgery. I have hit my 40 pd mark and was banded on 5/29. I eat nothing white; no sugar, flour, no carbs only sweet potatoes lots & lots of fish, salmon, tuna, halibut and my own homemade Protein Shakes. Its been 4 months since I've had a steak and since my band so many cravings have gone bye bye and beef is one of them. I walk 3-4 miles 6x a week so weight training too. My goal is a size 6 to 8 and I am now in a size 10. Love my band!!! I was such a foodie before but now I eat to live not live to eat!!

I had surgery July 11 and I've lost 35 pounds so far. It's good to meet someone with the same doctor.

I'm with Dr Benavides as well. His office staff is great.

As far as calories, each person is different and you should only take the recommendation of the doctor. I ended up setting an appointment with the True Results nutritionist (cost me just my copay) . It was one of the best hours I've put into this whole journey so far. We worked out a calorie count and Protein intake goal (1800 calories and 90 grams protein). I've lost 73 pounds since May 27. Highly recommend meeting with the nutritionist. She was awesome - TR Richardson office.

Have you received your band card??? I mailed my paperwork the day after I had surgery nearly 2 months ago and I still haven't received it yet.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
