My surgeon actually uses both brands of band. He leaves it up to the patient to decide. I asked him if there was any difference between them and he told me, the Lapband has a little restriction from the start than Realize. That was the one I choose, we'll see.

I have gained a world of knowledge about LBS. I have gained incredible inspiration from those who rocked the band. And best thing I have gained is the wonderful friends & support system.

Thank you for your inspiring words! I really, really wuv's you! Any body mess with my girl, and I'll get real ugly with them.j/s

MD , writing from hospital room. Surgery was a lot easier than imagined and being I'm 56yo , you young man should do even better.

Ha ha, hospital bed. Drugs are good!

Hi everyone! Laying up here in my hospital pumped full of drugs and I feel goooood! Really the surgery wasn't as bad as I imagined and I can't wait for the journey on this side. YEAH!!!! Thanks for all the good thoughts & prayers!

Love/hugs/kisses and flip flops to you! Great blog, hope a lot of people read it. It should be a thread.

Leaving for hospital soon and I wanted to take this time to thank all of you for all the education, laughs & tears we shared. Thanks to you, I slept like a baby last night! Thank you for continued prayers! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! See you on the Post-Op side :0)

Hey Crazy , I was where you are know, but today is my day. I will be heading to hospital in a hour. Carolinagirl gave you excellent advice. Take this time to learn all you can. The Drs office throw things at you so quick, you can't absorb all of it. Though here you can take your time and learn from the best and even learn from mistakes others make. Time will fly by and you will go through a gambit of emotions, but always remember the prize. Best wishes on your life changing journey!

Thank you Dear!

T&P with you! I'm leaving at 10am

Just chalk it up to ignorance. Not saying he is an ignorant guy, just when it comes to dieting & WLS. He opened his mouth and inserted his foot.

Mine was 1wk to the day of being submitted.
