What's the difference between the two main bands? The Allergan band and the Realize band? Just curious!

My surgeon does both bands and leaves it up to the patient, but he prefers using Realize. And it has a lower port, so that's the one I chose. I'm not convinced there's a huge difference between the two, though.
