Baby Steps

Well..it's official. I signed up for my first seminar. I am really looking forward to hearing what the surgeon has to say. Of course this has caused my inner detective to come out. I have done more comparing and reading about lap bands in the last week that....maybe I can give the seminar myself..heehee :tongue_smilie:. Ok..OK...I still have lots to learn, but that's ok.....I am looking forward to it. I guess my biggest question is...What is actually the big difference between the LAP-BAND® brand and the realize brand? Does one cost more than the other? So...it looks like I better start writing these questions down so I don't forget them when I actually get to the seminar. I am also getting a head start on the 6 month medically supervised diet, my appointment is next month...yay me! :w00t:

Good for you. I heard at the Seminar here last night that the Realize band is "Too New to Rate!" and not all it is cracked up to be. They have about three years knowledge of how the LapBand AP has done and it is quite well. I love mine! Down 71 lbs now after 6 months! Good luck with everything!
