Welcome to bandland. I'm not sure what realize is, so I think I have it. lol.

I have the realize band also. Have you gone to the realize website yet. Congrats on being banded .. we had our wls a day apart.

congrats girl! I was banded 9/9 with the realize band. I just got my first fill which was 3 cc. The band only holds 9cc. It is installed without fill but you may have done due to the initial swelling from surgery. I lost 11 lbs 1 week post op. I have lost a total of 21 lbs since surgery. Keep us posted on your progress!
