Hello All: Whats the difference between the lap band and the realize band? I go in to see my doctor on Feb. 4th to set my surgery date. Im pretty sure I have my heart set on the lap band, I have done so much research on this procedure but then again havent done a whole lot of research on the realize band. Any thoughts or knowledge on this?

Thank you all for this great information. I think Im going to stick with the lap band :cursing:

Hello All, after reading this forum for a little over a year I finally decided to join! I am so glad I did :scared2: I have a question, I should probably know this. But I got so caught up in taking all the tests needed I forgot to think about all the things that happen after the surgery. Mainly I was wondering how you get a fill....and does it hurt? I am scheduled to see my doctor on Feb. 4th to schedule my surgery. I will ask then but just wanted to see what my lap band friends had to say.

Thank you all so much for your quick responces. I appreciate the feed back. And I am now at ease knowing that the needle doesnt hurt. It was kind of freaking me out. But the closer I get to the surgery the more questions I get, thanks for being so nice!

Ok, thanks for the quick responces. Now one more question. No laugh's please....what are cc's or what does it stand for?
