Hi !! I am in the process of the Realize band . I have had 3 surgery dates and had to cancel due to my thyroid levels being to high . I will have blood work done again the end of the month and if all is well I will have the surgery. I was going to use Bilton and they didn't take my insurance , so I had to go to Birmingham . Don't be stressed !  You will find the info you need at the seminar. All Doc's are different in the process and the test they order.  I know your excited , as I myself am. The seminar is a breeze the Doc will answer your Questions and then some . Keep us posted on your progress ! Hope all goes well with you and Welcome to the Bama Board !!

Congrats on making the decision to do something for you and your health!! Don't be nervous..after the seminar you will know more of the process and the requirements Dr Bilton has. I am Michele and I had RNY in 2006..but have friends that has and are in the near future going to have lap-band!! They all have done FABULOUS!! Please keep us posted..and remember we are here for you!!
HUGS,
Michele

Me Me Me! I'm over two years out and I'm still in love with my band. 
It wondered if it would work for me, scared I would be 'the one' that if failed on, but nope, it didn't. I would suggest you going to the lap band board and seeing some of the success stories there. I would do it again in a heartbeat! I've lost 95 lbs and still have about 20 to go. I've been at a standstill for a little while but that is due to me, not the band. I've just really slacked up on my excercise, I don't eat a lot but dont always eat the right thing anymore.     

Hi, I have a band and been banded since 12-12-06.  Check out my profile.  If you have any questions let me know.
