Hi! I am 2 plus weeks post op with the realize band. I'm on soft foods now (much easier than liquids!) but I'm finding that I'm hungry between meals. The weight loss this week is slower than the first week (actually it has stopped!) I can't wait for the first fill! I had mine done in Buffalo, NY....how about you?

I have Realize Band! So far so good (was banded in June). And I like the low profile port. When I get all my excess weight off, I think it will be pretty hard to see (right now I can't even feel it on my own. All my fills so far have been under fluoro). Love my band! Good luck!

I was banded with the Realize Band Aug 26. I get my first fill on the 23. My doctor was on vacation so I had to wait longer for the first fill. But that's ok.

I too have a bit of hunger and my weight loss came to a stop but as long as I didn't gain I was happy. Was surprised this week when I stepped on the scale and noticed a 2 1/2 lb loss.

Good luck all :thumbup:

      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.
