I was just wondering does anyone know how many cc a realize band holds? I ask my doctor and he told me that the realize band only had one size band and it was 9cc but I was reading on here the other day and someone said they had the realize band and theirs hold 10 or 12cc. I was just wondering.

Personally I'd trust my Doc. If you're in doubt, go to the Realize band web site and see if they have "sizes"

I didnt feel any restriction after my 1st fill, although, I did have a major clumping epsiode yesterday. I do however, feel some restriction with the second fill, but not a whole lot. Hopefully 2morrow I will feel more. Right now I am still having to go on willpower.

The Realize band is 9ccs but the reason it can hold a little more is because of the tubing line that goes from the port site to the actual band. All bands hold a little more than what they say. At least this is what my doc explained to me.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
