  1. The Pouch and Getting Stuck - how does this work?

    kinnewj posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
    Isn't our food supposed to sit in our pouch (making us feel full) and slowly move through the band into the larger stomach? So, why do we get "stuck" during eating....and not later after the meal? If we chew more the food will pass through the band more easily. If the food is chewed well enough to go through the band how does it ever sit in the pouch long enough to make us full?

  2. Realize vs. Inamed

    I read somewhere that the "pillows" reduce erosion, and that it has less slippage (but don't know what is different to back that up). Thanks for you're info!

    Does anyone have the Realize band yet? I'm interested in anyone's discussions with their Dr's about the Realize band. Thanks
