hi everyone, I'm new to the lapband (I have the Realize Band) and was banded on July 31, 2008. Starting weight was 189 now holding at 170. My Goal for the next month is to break the 170 mark.:tongue2:

WHAT IS THE realized band. I have a vg band suppoose to hold more cc:s

My dr told me it was a new type of the LAP BAND. my band holds up to 9cc's. I currently have 3. I go back to the dr. on the 13th and I'm going to ask for another fill. I still don't feel very much restriction. I can't believe you haven't seen the commercials for the Realize Band??? They are all over the TV's here in Alabama.

Have not seen anything on realize band but my vg band can hold up to 11cc account the tubing holds some of the saline in it. I also have 9 to 10cc in it have very little restriction but my main problem is drink when eating and it flushes food right through the band and i sometime cheat the band example i have a hard time eating bread, toast, cake, donuts ect.. So i dunk them in milk to make them soagie and they go down easy but i get on a sugar craving binge and go nuts any suggestion on how to avoid a sugar binge, anyone got a suggestion,thanks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
