lap or realize? what do you think?

pp

My preference is realize.
From what I have read it has slightly less chance of slippage and food restrictions.
Doctor said slightly shorted surgery time due to how the port is attached.

 there's not a lot of difference between the two.  the realize band has a great website for information on nutrition, meals, and fitness.  the realize band is also more natural feeling (I've seen them in person) whereas the lap band is a bit stiffer.  My doctor felt the scarf like design of the realize band would prevent slippage (the lap band is more belt like).
I chose the realize band because of all the information I read and after seeing it, I felt it was the right choice. 

Good luck!

I got the realize band on Sept 5th and love it!!!!    I have not had any problems at all.      My Dr told me that it was choice also, but he did like the  realize band due to having less slippage.   Good luck to you.

My doctor gave me a choice, Johnson or realize, he chose the realize and I love it, I haven't had any trouble with it.
