Realize Band?

Hey everyone!

I had my pre op testing yesterday and they threw me a curve ball. I need to chose between the AP Band and the Realize Band. My surgeon just started using the Realize band about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure which to chose. Is anyone else having the Realize band placed? Does anyone have any info comparing the 2 or any opinion as to which one is better or if they are about the same? I had never heard of the Realize band before yesterday and I thought I had read EVERYTHING! hahaha!

Also, this pre op diet is TOUGH! Yikes! I didn't think it would be too bad, but I am getting hungry especially at night and I am having bad headaches. I keep reminding myself I AM WORTH IT! How is everyone else holding up on this diet?
