galaaxy101 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Hi all I'm so glad I found this site it looks so informative and best all sharing experiances with real people! I have been researching weight loss surgery for almost a year but more seriously now I have made my decision. However, going on the internet is provig somewhat of a minefield lol I am considering having the easyband but there dosn't seem to be much research has anyone had one fitted that can provide some experiance? I would be grateful for any info anyone is willing to share as I'm sure you will agree this is a very daunting time in life. Michelle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 What, exactly, is "easy band"? I've never heard of it. What would make it more desirable than the Lap Band AP or Realize band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
REALIZEinCT 0 Posted May 13, 2009 I never heard of either Cathy but I just did a quick Google and found info here: EASYBAND Site says it's not yet approved in the U.S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ParrotheadCathy 0 Posted May 13, 2009 Galaaxy, as REALIZEinCT noted, the EasyBand is not approved for use in the United States. I doubt you'll find many -- if any -- banders on here who have it just because of that. Sounds interesting .... no fill needles ... but it will be a good while before it would be an option here. If you get it, let us know how it goes once you start getting adjustments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
