Realize or Lap-Band??

heya! had my surgery yesterday.. and left it up to my surgeon. He usually uses realize bands.. but has had problems with the male anatomy and the slightly smaller realize band.. so I got the lap-band. :wub:

I got the lap band because my Dr is in Mexico and so he doesnt use the realize band. The nutrionist said my band was 5cc's. I wanted the realize band because I had heard that food doesnt get stuck as much. But the down side to that of course is that the restriction isnt as strict so you might eat things that you shouldnt be eating. Im sure I will be happy with my allergin lapband. Its strictness will keep me honest!
