Disappointed with the Realize Band

Oh you are far from the only one! There are LOTS of us out there that have had no, or minimal luck with the band!

Good luck hun!

I don't like what I'm reading.  I am only 2 weeks post-op and of course I've lost the initial 10 pounds.  I don't expect the weight to just drop off of me.  I researched this for almost 5 years before I finally did this.  I'm happy with my doctor and expect to have my first fill in 4 weeks.  I feel pretty damn good.  I decided this was the best way to go because you have to use the band as a tool and not expect miracles.  I expect to have to exercise and eat right.  This is a way to get me off of the couch!  I've recommitted myself to getting healthy again and am moving forward in a positive way.  There are risks that we all must face when we decide to submit to weight loss surgery.  I'm going to focus on the positive and not think about those risks.  Being 5' 2" and 232 pounds wasn't cutting it anymore and if it takes me a year or more to reach a comfortable weight, I'll take it!   I'm not even setting a final goal weight.  When I get there, I'll know.  Wish me luck!!!

I am prayful that it will have better success than i have with the band.  I was optimistic too but that has been replaced by disappointment.  I think that my expectations were realistic but now, I'm just frustrated.  Best of luck of you on your journey.

Good luck! I have the Realize bnd and have lost 33 ponds in 6 weeks. I feel well----You can do it!!!
