marthie66 1 Posted October 16, 2008 what's the difference in the "realize band" and just "lap band"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melisa1 0 Posted October 16, 2008 Yeah id like to know the differences too if anyone knows. Im having the lapband 1 week from today..YIKES..mine is 14cc?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stylist24 0 Posted October 16, 2008 my understanding is that there really is not much difference the realize has been around longer in europe but recently approved in U,S. also it has a lower risk of slippage and the port is flatter and easier to access.
