Topic: The first of many milestones!
So I step on the scale this morning and low and behold i have reached my first of many goals. For the first time in years I am now under 300lbs (42 lbs less since 5/4)! Sure I may still be 299, but that number starts with a 2 and not a 3!
Next goal...-50 lbs on the radar!

Topic: RE: Hi everyone I just joined and have a few questions
I did a lot of research on the two bands also before I got banded in March and the most significant difference is the size/shape of the port. They both work the same though. I opted for the Realize band because thy have a more robust website that can be used for support and tracking post op.
My doctor is Dr. Vithivanthan but I did go to Dr. Pohl and Dr Giovanni's information session back in April (for my husband who is now also banded with a Realize band) and I believe they said that they don't normally do Realize bands. They don't have a problem with it, but they tend to stick to Lapband. Dr. G also did say that if someone really wants Realize though, they would do it.
Hope that helps a bit.
Good luck.
