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!!

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 ups and downs.many of the changes inneating and the emotional stuff we go through is the same and we need each other...goodluck in your journey !!

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!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
