Realize Band?

[Mystie 146]

When I went for my information session this week they said the hospital's surgeons pretty much exclusively use the Realize band. I'm glad, cuz I was hoping to go with that kind, anyway.

I also have the Realize band...and have not had any issues with it. I don't know of any foods which I am unable to eat, and have never had a stuck episode with the exception of one of my pills just after I stopped crushing them.

Several weeks ago, I thought I remembered reading that it had been discontinued. I don't know if that is accurate or not...

I'm very happy with my band...

I sure hope it is not discontinued, to me that means something is wrong with it.

I have only had mine seven weeks and one of the posts said she had hers 3 weeks.

I googled it and there was a recall back in 2010 for ones not yet used because of a bad port tubing connetor.

There is nothing since that time.

I have the Realize band and I am very happy with it. I have had only a few stuck episodes and they were due to user error.

is there a difference between them (besides the maker?)

Hi Carolinagirl,

Check page 1 of this thread. I put a link to a page that shows a side by side comparison of the two.

No, it is not the Realize band that is being discontinued, it is the Realize My Success online support that is being discontinued.

Thank you so much for the clarification!!
