I'm two weeks post-op i saw my surgeon the other day and asked him and he told me REALIZE is a one size fits all? I didn't want to sit there and grill but I always thought they came in different sizes??

Does anyone know what size there realize band is?? I need to be more firm with my dr and speak up more, he is a man with very few words!!

TIA!!

Mine is a 14 cc Band

I have an 11cc Realize band. My doctor gave me a card when he discharged me from the hospital to keep in my wallet. It has all the info about my band in case any other medical professional treating me needs the info. It's pre-printed by the band company with all the band info and my surgeon just filled in his name and the date of the surgery. Did you not receive one of these?

No , I did't get one. I love my surgeron since he is very good at his job ( surgery) very well known but little things he stinks!! I'm going to call the office now and see what's up! Thanks for the info. Does the info on the card have what size band?? If there all different sizes why do they say its one size fits all??

Yes, the card has the maximum fill volume printed on it as well as the "serial number" of the band (or the "patient card ID number) that lets you register online at the Realize website so that you can use their online tools if you want to help support your journey.

I just called they said they have tons of them I guess its just a generic card? She says you can use it if you want to order kid meals in restaurants lol!! never heard of that but may work in disney!!

It is a generic card, but mine has a stick on it that my doctor placed with the lot number of the band. That's nice to know for future purposes if I ever need to trace the origins of my band.

I"m sure my sticker is in the trash... grrr... I wonder if realize can give me that info? I work in the hospital I got it done in I'm going to look at my info later on the pc and see if there is any info on it. Thanks! I was just banded on March 6th..... I need a fill!

I received a temp card when I was discharged and went online once I got home and they sent me a permenate Patient ID Card. My card has the system id #, Name, surgery date, Surgeon, surgeons telephone number and band size and max fill volume. I was told I could use mine to order kid meals too! LOL...

That's what I will do when I get my temp card I go online and get my real card! Thanks everyone. I love this board!
