what kind of bands used in mexico

[Banded14yr 2]

Well doc you know the Swedish Band IS the Realize Band - Poor surgical technique is related to slippage and prolapse - NOT erosion. If your so sure there have been complications with the inamed band please site a study showing compliciations where Pars-Flaccida technique was used. I don't think you'll find one.

If the Swedish band is so good - why is your website called Lap-bandinfo.com? Why not change it to realizeband info.com if you don't like the inamed- why are using there name to get hits to your site?- sorry doc that seems a little shady.

Uh yeah... The Swedish Band is now called the Realize band. - Poor surgical technique can lead to many problems, which would include Slippage & Prolapse which THEN could lead to erosion if not taken care of.

I am very sure that there have been complications with the Inamed band. You have totally missed the boat here. I'm not PRO any band. I'm against your harsh criticism of the band that I personally have and have been successful with. You assume that all of us that went to Mexico are fools and that the Swedish band is crap. Bottom line is, you don't have the Swedish (J&J band or the Inamed band) so you are giving an opinion based on what you have read or heard. I'm giving you FACT on what has actually happened to me.

I could care less if anyone gets the Inamed or the Swedish, Realize J&J band. I'm not advertising for one particular band like you are. The band has totally changed my life for the better and I'm thrilled when I see it changing so many other's lives as well (regardless of the type of band they have)

The studies are out there on all the bands. I'm sure you've read them, they're not hard to find.

Good luck to you
