I had the realize band put in July 22.....Doing ok wih it. The realize band is the swedish version of the lap band. A litle wider to help stablize it a little more inside and to help food not get stuck. Nothing different about treating it differently the other lap bands though...

Good Luck!

I got my Realize band on May 15th. There are quite a few people on this forum who have the Realize band as it is becoming pretty commonly used. It was used in Sweden for many years before it was approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. My doctor said there really is virtually no difference between Realize and Lap Band, and he gave me a choice which one I wanted. If you do a search for "Realize" on this forum you will find quite a few threads and a variety of comments about it. Good luck to you with your new band!!

I had the realize band on Aug 5. So far so good! I really love the website with all of the information and recipes! I am sure that I will use them as I get further along in the process.

I was using the limited version of the website pre surgery, I love all the added features post surgery. If you haven't logged in to the site yet - it is something you can really use!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
