My understanding is the difference in the port (size) and the Lap Band has pockets for the saline (whereas the realize is smooth) and according to my PA causes less slippage - My Dr uses both the Realize and Lap Band AP. He will use the Realize band with higher BMI 50+. There are two sizes of the Lap Band AP I believe one holds 10cc and the other 14cc of saline. He said usually your anatomy dictates which one he uses. Both are very successful if you use them as they are meant to be used as a tool to your weght loss success. Good luck on your journey!
