The jump is so frightening between where I am and where I want to be.
Because of all I may become, I will close my eyes and leap.

Topic: Help!!! Extremely frustrated
I had my surgery 8 months ago....and have only lost 35lbs. but I have dropped 4-5 pants sizes.I have had 2 fills and I still don't feel full! And to add to my frustration I have recently begun throwing up almost everytime I eat. Could my band have slipped?

Hi Kim,
Wow, scars huh?
The Asst. Surgeon advise me of the 4. Two on each side. I will surley ask about the Mederma before I go buy some because I do scar easily. Thank for the heads up!

Topic: Questions about Realize Band
I am approved for surgery on the 24th of May and today I found out my surgeon no longer uses the allergan band and I am kind of bummed. I always thought the Realize band was less restrictive and harder to get to that sweet spot. I haven't done much research on it because I thought I was getting the allergan band. I just wanted some feedback from those of you who have the realize band. How is it working for you? Do you wish you would've gotten the allergan? Do you feel restriction? How long did it take to feel restricted? Help!
Topic: RE: New to the forum...thanks
I have heard that book is great! Now I just have to find it! Welcome to OH Realize Band Forum. I had my surgery on 2/28/11.

Topic: RE: Ouch Ouch Ouch!
Thanks. I did end up calling my surgeon. I spoke with his PA and told her what was happening. She said she would speak to him and call me back.
I just got her call back, and she said my doc said some of what I was describing was normal and to be expected with the band (I sure hope I don't have to expect this forever!?) He said that he felt I would be OK to wait until June 3rd, when he comes up, to see him -- but he said if the pain becomes more severe and unbearable or if it becomes constant, that I should call and he will make me an emergency appointment and see me sooner.
I will keep you updated to the results once I see the doc.
