I DID GET TO FEEL BOTH AND I REQUESTED REALIZE TOO. ONE RESON IS BECAUSE IT IS NEWER AND THE FACT THEY DO HAVE THERE OWN WEB SITE. GLAD TO HERE SOMEONE TALK ABOUT THE TWO ! …..SHERi
It’s hard to adapt and adjust yes, I will not lie there… but well worth it, no regrets
hey there i like ur videos and was jsut woundering i am thinkin about goin through with the lapband and was woundering everything u had to go through was it hard……..thanks alot
Thanks! I am going to ask the surgeon about it.
She is doing great. She has lost 25 lb and has hit a plateau, but keeping on keeping on waiting on it to start up again.

Hi, I have five cc’s in my band so far. I go back to the Dr. on Oct. 31. I’m going to ask for another fill,b/c I still don’t have the restriction that I want. It’s there,but I would like for it to be better! On another note…a friend of mine is having an upper GI done today b/c her band has slipped!!! She has the lap band. The Dr. wants to go ahead and replace it with a new one,but she is hoping to wait until Christmas break.
Thanks Janie.. you mean my shrinking fat head? LOL jk! *hugs*
I have had 2 fills and I currently have 4cc’s my band holds 13 cc’s… How many cc’s are in your band?
Thank you
Thanks Melissa!
Why did you chose the lap band over realize? Just curious…
thanks I am very happy
I totally forgot to mention the port! How is your sister doing?
Deb, you can so tell by your face that you are losing weight, girl! Congrats!
I had the Realize band placed on July 16, 2008-Dr. Nease Huntington WV. I really like the results I’m seeing. I’m down 30 lbs. and still losing. Have you had any fills? Mine holds 9cc’s and I have five so far. I would do this again in a quick minute! Good luck to you!
by the way, I can tell you have lost weight! Congrats!!
Great video- the realize wasn’t available for me last year through my surgeon so I have the one right below it which Vagabond idk it starts w/ a V lol…But very informative video – hugs, Melissa
I know I had a hard time deciding with which to go with… they both are so similar, but there are some differences… like my name says, I went with the lapband!
Deb, my sister has the Realize band, too (I think I’ve mentioned that to you before). She chose for the same reason, softer material, and she also likes the web site. Also, the port is “lower profile”, doesn’t stick up as much, and she liked that, too.
