I have a 'lap band' which is manufactured by Allergan.

Why?

Just wondering. My surgeon put in a Realize band yesterday. Never thought about it up here.

To me there is no difference, 2 different manufactures that's all. The rules and lifestyle is still the same.

We use the term lap band as a general term not a specific brand.... no one will oust you!!

Unlike other sites (sleeve) we dont oust people with other surgeries .We welcome anyone with any WLS.the decision to do any surgery is very hard.and we all need support on the lifestyle changes and ups and downs.many of the changes inneating and the emotional stuff we go through is the same and we need each other...goodluck in your journey !!

Thank you, I appreciate it! Some folks are friendlier than others and some very judgemental, so I didn't want to ruffle any feathers!

Thank you all again!

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
