  • Unlike other sites (sleeve) we dont oust people with other surgeries .We welcome anyone with any WLS.the decision to do any surgery is very hard.and we all need support on the lifestyle changes and up

I have a 'lap band' which is manufactured by Allergan.

Why?

Just wondering. My surgeon put in a Realize band yesterday. Never thought about it up here.

To me there is no difference, 2 different manufactures that's all. The rules and lifestyle is still the same.

We use the term lap band as a general term not a specific brand.... no one will oust you!!

Thank you, I appreciate it! Some folks are friendlier than others and some very judgemental, so I didn't want to ruffle any feathers!

Thank you all again!

I too have an 11cc Realize band:-)

We can put "BB" on the side if you want!
