I was banded on May 9th with the Realize band and doing great!! Had a 2cc fill yesterday. Was curious to see how the other May Realizers are doing!

I was banded on the 23rd of April with the realize band. Not May, but close...within a week! I got my frst fill yesterday, he put in 4cc.

I was banded on May 20th with the Realize Band. I am feeling pretty good so far. I don't go for a fill until the end of June I think.

I don't really think that the make of band makes much difference.

I was banded 5/12 with the Realize band. I just had my two week post-op visit today. I'm not feeling a whole lot of restriction but I am eating less than pre-surgery at any rate.

We are going to Disney World June 22nd and I asked about getting a fill before I go, but was told they would wait and would do it right after I get back since that is basically right at the 6 week mark and if they fill me and then I end up needing an unfill but stuck in Florida with no where to get one that might not be good.

So, I'll go enjoy my vacation (but not too much if you know what I mean) and hopefully the real weight loss will start after the end of June.

Wishing everyone a good outcome!

banded on the sixth. Going to get a fill on the 13th. Really can't wait as right now I can eat plenty.

I was Realize banded on May 15th. I'm feeling very mild restriction (or maybe I'm imagining it because I want it to be there). I'm doing a good job at making healthy choices and keeping portions pretty reasonable. I get my first fill June 12th.

Thanks for responding. Seems we are all at about the same place. Even with 2cc's I don't have a lot of restriction. I do find the slower I eat it is easier to recognize full. I am really only eating protien. Trying to stay away from carbs as long as possible!! Good luck to everyone.
