There's not a big difference. The a Realize band has a wider, flatter port. The actual silicone band is flatter and wider too and I think it has two inflatable chambers instead of the 3 Lapband has. The Lapband port can become visible, even under clothing as you lose weight.

Oh ok it says that the realize band only have a 7-9 cc volume but I read the threads on here and I see where people have 6,7,8 cc in there band so is the realize band a good option to go with

Realize is 9 cc or 11 cc

Lapband is 10 or 14 I believe

Sorry if I am asking a lot of questions I went to a surgeon out my way and he was just talking about the lap band when I brought up the realize band he talked against it and I didn't like that so I come here for my question n answers cause u guys r the best

I don't know how many of each are implanted, but the overwhelming majority of bands placed are lap bands. The only advantage of realize is the lower profile port.

Ok so do that mean the realize band get tighter sooner

I honestly don't know.
