I am looking into the surgery for myself as well as my mom and wanted to know if anyone has had this Dr. before and would like to share their experience...? Thanks

This was my doctor and he was great!! I highly recommend him. He is one of the leading surgeons in the LapBand.

Great thank you!

I was banded by Dr. Benavides and use true results, every one has been very nice and accommodating and i would recommend them as well.

I need help please Dr. Benavides is my surgeon im schdeuled for April 16th but i was wondering about the protein diet he puts u on before surgery could u tell me some of the things u did please

Hello,

I used the Atkins shakes from Wal Mart. His office should have sent you an email stating what should and shouldn't eat. You might call them and ask them if you didn't get information for your diet. Good luck! I hope all goes well for you!! :smile2:

Thanks alot for responding they supplied me with my shakes and of what i could eat just trying to get some ideas since u were sucessful with ur diet on preperation of how u cooked ur food. Im having baked fish with spinanch today im only going to do 2 shakes a day.

hey yall im with true results/lap band solutions also but im doing dr marsden he does the dallas and hurst location, but i go to the hurst office..i was just wondering...do u know about how much they charge for the procedure if insurance pays...b/c i have aetna pos II 100 and it covers 90% so i know im gonna have to pay a little something towards this surgery im just wondering what price range should i expect..1k 2k or 3k, and if they want the money up front..so i can start saving up...i still havent go approved but that time is only less than 30 days away....

He is the doctor that performed my surgery. He and his staff were awesome!

Hi. I too, am having surgery on the 16th with Dr beinavides. I go for my Preop visit with him on Wednesday. Maybe, I will see you there! Good Luck

I am also with True Results and Dr. Benevides did my surgery. I highly recommend him. He and his staff are very nice and informative. I was nervous because I flew from Atlanta to Dallas to have my surgery done but they made me very comfortable and its been smooth sailing ever since!:cool2:
