Different bands

[destinyford 6]

Have been doing a lot of research about lap bands and I just wanted to know what is the main different from the lap band and the realize band...

There's not a big difference. The a Realize band has a wider, flatter port. The actual silicone band is flatter and wider too and I think it has two inflatable chambers instead of the 3 Lapband has. The Lapband port can become visible, even under clothing as you lose weight.

Oh ok it says that the realize band only have a 7-9 cc volume but I read the threads on here and I see where people have 6,7,8 cc in there band so is the realize band a good option to go with

[Bandarella 223]

Realize is 9 cc or 11 cc

Lapband is 10 or 14 I believe

Ok so do that mean the realize band get tighter sooner

Sorry if I am asking a lot of questions I went to a surgeon out my way and he was just talking about the lap band when I brought up the realize band he talked against it and I didn't like that so I come here for my question n answers cause u guys r the best

I don't know how many of each are implanted, but the overwhelming majority of bands placed are lap bands. The only advantage of realize is the lower profile port.
