I can tell you what I know (might not be everything - actually, I'm sure it isn't):  Realize band is one size - 9cc.  The port is attached to an abdominal muscle with clamps and not stitched (it has a claw-like thing that attaches to the muscle).  Lap Band comes in different sizes - 3 that I'm aware of, but there could be more AND it attaches to the muscle with a stitch.  Mosztly the difference is just the manufacturer - both function the same with the exception of how the port is attached.

Hope this helps.
