I'm so excited to be here!
I have been searching this web site for info on the Realize Band and low and behold, a FORUM!!!
I am still having all of my testing and am currently doing an insurance required 3 month health and exercise program in the MidWest.
Hoping to have surgery approximately Dec 8 or so...I think it will take that long for all tests and insurance approvals.
So GLAD to be here!!!!

Hi Beryl,
Welcome to this board. It is a lot slower than the LapBand board, I think a lot of people just do not know that it exists. I just found it myself a few days ago. I wish that Obesity Help would advertise it a little more.
I hope that all of your plans stay on schedule and that you are banded on the day you want!
Sincerely, René
I'm going for the Realize band as well. I am early in the process, I have my psych eval this week and am also meeting with my PCP. Hopefully he will be willing to back date weigh ins for me, but if not I will be looking at surgery sometime after the new year....
Maybe we can all get this board up and moving!!
