Realize Band here. Banded Feb 2010. I tried to persuade my doctor to give her opinion on which was best. She presented the facts on each and left it up to me. I chose Realize because of the "low profile" port and the The "Realize my solution" website.

I had lapband surgery Feb 16, 2010. I have been using Mederma and it has worked pretty well. The key with it is consistency. I usually apply it two or 3 times a day. Hope this helps
