mscarly,

I had the same question and was told pretty much the same thing. Here is a website that I used to help me make my decision. Compare Adjustable Gastric Bands - LAP-BAND vs. REALIZE Band

I hope that you find this information most helpful, it help me decide. I was banded on May 21st.

Hello Every One!! It's nice to join in with you all!!

I have been reading your messages for probably a month now and have enjoyed them so much I decided to join you all. I am a newby...yeh!! I was banded on May 21, 2009; and I am excited as ever to enter into my new life of weight loss. It's only been six days and I have already lost 6 lbs. that's a pound a day. I wish all of you great success, and will talk with you soon. MS. G :devil:
