Hi my name is Deann and I just got the Realize band Sept 16th 2009. So far only down 17 pounds but havnt had a fill yet. How are you doing with your band? Are you continuing to lose weight? I hope you are doing well because there are a lot of neg comments about Realize band in this discussion forum and I just hope everyone who was brave enough to make this desition loses the weight they want and need too. I wish everyone here success. Deann

Thank you for saying something possitive about the realize band. I just had my surg Sept 16th 2009, and the I let the Dr chose which band because i figured he knew best. I got the Realize band and have lost 17 pounds that is counting my pre surg diet. I wish it was more but I havn't had a fill yet and just started solid food 2 weeks ago. I hope the fill helps me lose faster. Reading some of the posts on this site made me afraid I made the wrong decision on having the Realize band put in. I can't change my mind now though so I pray it will help me because I feel this is my last resort. I would really like to hear some possitive comments from people who have had success with the realize band. Deann

Hi Cher my name is Deann and Im thinking of having to lap band I am 130 pounds overweight and never though that I would ever let myself get this bad. I have lost and gaind weight for over 20 years and am sick to it and almost ready to give up. Do you think the band has helped you enough to be worth everything you have to dead with ( throwing up, stuff getting stuck in band, not being able to eat your favorite foods or eat and drink together) I know if I have this done there is no turning back. I dont want gastric done because my sister died shortly after hers so it really scares me. Please let me know how you did. and how fast can you lose weight if you exersise and do everything your supposed to do? thanks for your time Deann

Hi my name is Deann and I am going to my first seminar on March 3rd and I already go the Dr referal but I am really nervous.. I have been fighting my weight for over 20 years and I always gain the weight back and then some. I have gotten up to 279 I never thought I would ever see or let myself get to 200 I need help, so Im considering lap band. Ive been told it takes 3 years to lose all your weight but gastric bypass takes only 1 year but I am afraid of that surgery. My sister passed away shortly after having gastric bypass so I don't want to consider that one. I would really appreceiate any of you that have already had lap band emailing me and letting me know how your doing and what I need to expect. Thank you all for all your help. email is deannkuske@comcast.net
