Midband, Lap Band Who Has What?



Recommended Posts

So I had the swedish band and recently found band erosion so I had the band removed for 3 months.

My doctor and I were talking about what kind of band I would get next and he mentioned the midband which is the french band. I was originally thinking of getting the ap-s next.

So I am just wondering what kind of bands everyone has and if anyone has this midband so I can get more info about their experience with it.

I have the Realize band. Just happened to be what my doctor was using this month. He's also used the Lap Band.

I've been happy with mine.

I have a Realize band, too. My surgeon also uses the Lap-band, but told me he usually reserves that for patients with higher BMIs than I had, going in.

I have the small lap band and my husband has the large lap band. No problems, we are both very happy.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
