I go to Curve and love it, love it, love it. The exercise is not too strenuous but yet I still feel like I've worked out none the less. As for the discount with the lapband if you have the Allergan Lap Band and not the Realize band you can go to lapband.com and find out about a discount for new Curves members. I didn't qualify since I was a member pre-surgery but it looks like a pretty good deal for those who are new to Curves. Good luck with your exercise whatever you decide to do.

Hi, Well this is my first blog entry on Lapbandtalk. I have recently started coming here more and more. I was banded on 3/17/09 and so far am doing well. As of this morning I am down 22 lbs from surgery which isn't bad at all. I'm glad to be on this site and hope to become an active part of this community. Until next time ...

PB = Productive Burp - when you eat/swallow something too big to go through the stoma so you vomit it right back up intact as it was when it went down. Hope this helps.

Hi. I am new to this group. I am considering lap band surgery and have my initial consultation, psych eval and nut meeting on this coming Wednesday. I have one initial question if you all could help me with. My surgeon uses both the LapBand and the Realize Band. I was looking to hear from people who have either one as to why you chose one over the other. Apparently my surgeon leaves it up to the patient and from what I've learned so far don't see a great difference between the two. Thanks for your help. Frogger
