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.

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
