My doctor...sat & explained both bands & said he had seen great results with both.. But that it was up to me to decide wich one I wanted. I did pick REALIZE because of the on line support & also felt that the structure on it was softer on the port & the band. I got to touch & feel both.I thought the port on the lap was harder & bigger & I didnt want to be feeling it once it was inside me. Its only been a month for me but Im down 10 pounds. I'm happy with my results so far...& I feel good...that's what matters I think...

I went to six flags Magic Mountain 2 summers ago & I had trouble with the safety belts too..this summer I didnt go.Because I knew I wouldnt fit the rides because I had gain more weight... I thank GOD for giving me my band because I'll be able to go back this summer & ride everything again! I visited Big Bear last spring & they had me stand on a scale before they allowed me to ride a horse...well obviously I was too heavy to ride.. & I had to stay behind & wait for all my friends... along with another fat girl..poor horse coundnt carry us..

Congrats.. on your approval!! I got my surgery date..really fast I was approved in November & scheduled two weeks tops after...It goes by really fast before you know it you will have your band..
