THEMAXWELLFAMILY 0 Posted August 5, 2010 Had my consult with Dr. Gomez today. He was pretty short and to the point.... He reccomends the Realize band instead of the Lapband. He says that the sucess rate is higher and etc. Dr. Gomez's office is going to fax everything to Anthem on Monday and i should have an answer within 5-7 business days. Im really excited. If all goes well, i will be banded in September. Well... i need to get back to reading more about the Realize band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
