I just now learned about the Realize Band. My surgeon will not be doing this until July however, I am scheduled to have my lap band on June 11th - 5th day of pre-op diet.

Any thoughts on the differences?

I really like the idea of the RealizeMysuccess website - anyone know if Allergan is going to follow suit?

Thanks,

Mo

My Dr. does both, Ofcourse when I went in for the office visit I called it Lap Band and he did as well BUT when it came down to the day of surgery He came to my room and asked me which band I wanted.. I simply told him that whatever he suggested was fine with me since he was the expert and he looked me square in the eye and grinned and said ok I appreciate that so your getting the Realize Band

I started LapBandTalk the night I came home from surgery mid July 2003. Following my own Lap-Band® procedure, I was looking for information and community support. I came across a few helpful web sites, but they all lacked a sense of actually belonging to a group of people who share many similarities, struggles and habits.

After years of researching and reaching out to the community, we've been able to build the most comprehensive online resources for all types of Weight Loss Surgeries. Hundreds of thousands of registered members contribute amazing stories and useful information to our pages.
