    Lap Band vs. Realize Band

    Thanks for your reply. I think I will call the head of the Hospital that my surgeon works under and see what he has to say as my surgeon is out of town until June 9th (2 days before my surgery). I just want to be sure I'm getting the best tool I possible can. I would guess that if my insurance would pay for one they'd probably cover the other. Thanks and GREAT work! Much continued success. Mo
  3. Anyone have any opinions or better yet FACTS which is better or any other information regarding the 2? I do LOVE the website and support for the Realize band. Please submit. Thanks. Mo :laugh:
  4. I just now learned about the Realize Band. My surgeon will not be doing this until July however, I am scheduled to have my lap band on June 11th - 5th day of pre-op diet. Any thoughts on the differences? I really like the idea of the RealizeMysuccess website - anyone know if Allergan is going to follow suit? Thanks, Mo

    LBT Official Cookbook?

    I LOVE this idea! I will be banded on June 11th and this would be SUPER helpful. I will definitely order one and don't have any problems paying whatever they end up costing. Please let me know when we need to pay. Thanks, and GREAT work! Mo:thumbup:

    finally banded

    Congratulations on your band! I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you as I will not be banded until June 11th. I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you and I wish you lots of continued success. Mo
  8. Hi Musicmom, Much success on your upcoming banding! I will be banded on June 11th. I can't even believe how fast the time is going by. I was going to do this 5 years ago and I backed out the night before. I can't believe that I did that. However, I am ready now and will be starting my liquid diet this coming Wednesday. I am so ready for the changes that will very soon be coming my way. We all have alot to look forward to and I am happy to have found this sight so, I have people to go on this journey with. Best of luck to you and keep in touch. Mo

    Good Job! You're well on your way now. Glad to hear that you're feeling good and all is going in the right direction. Congratulations and best of luck. Mo:thumbup:
  11. Hi All! I am getting banded on June 11th. Does anyone know of an on-line support group or resource that my husband could go to to "learn" about being a supporter of a bandit? He is positive and wants to be supportive but I'm not sure he entirely knows how. I thought it would be helpful if I could lead him in the right direction so, he could do some research on his own. Thanks so much! Mowree (Marie)
  12. Hi Marci,

     

    Thanks for the reply. If you have a contact for the support group then yes, I would love some help in contacting them. Do you have a phone number/name of someone I can contact?

    Thanks so much!

    Marie

  13. Hi Judy,

     

    I will be banded on June 11 by Dr. Gazayerli. I just wanted to say hi and see how you're doing. I really like him - and it helps that he, too, and his daughter are banded. He really understands.

     

    Have you attended any of the support group meetings? I showed up there last week but noone turned up. I was disappointed because I think the support is very important. Have you gone to any other groups?

     

    Thanks.

    I'd love to hear back from you.

  14. Hi! Here's 3 for Dr. Gazayerli. I'll be banded on June 11th. He is a very compassionate man and a GREAT doctor. I did attend a information session in Port Huron. They seemed very nice just chose Dr. Gazayerli over them because of his personality and expertise. Hope that helps. Marie
