Hi all I'm so glad I found this site it looks so informative and best all sharing experiances with real people!

I have been researching weight loss surgery for almost a year but more seriously now I have made my decision. However, going on the internet is provig somewhat of a minefield lol I am considering having the easyband but there dosn't seem to be much research has anyone had one fitted that can provide some experiance? I would be grateful for any info anyone is willing to share as I'm sure you will agree this is a very daunting time in life. Michelle

What, exactly, is "easy band"? I've never heard of it. What would make it more desirable than the Lap Band AP or Realize band?

I never heard of either Cathy but I just did a quick Google and found info here:

EASYBAND

Site says it's not yet approved in the U.S.

Galaaxy, as REALIZEinCT noted, the EasyBand is not approved for use in the United States. I doubt you'll find many -- if any -- banders on here who have it just because of that. Sounds interesting .... no fill needles ... but it will be a good while before it would be an option here. If you get it, let us know how it goes once you start getting adjustments.
