REALIZE^® Adjustable Gastric Band

Achieve and maintain a healthier weight with the REALIZE^®  Adjustable Gastric Band

The REALIZE Adjustable Gastric Band provides a safe and effective way to achieve and maintain a healthier weight—without cutting or stapling your stomach. The band limits the amount of food you can eat at one time. As a result, you feel full sooner and stay satisfied longer. That makes it easier to adopt, and stick with, healthy eating and lifestyle habits. Learn more about how the REALIZE Band works to help you lose weight.

Includes exclusive access to the only Web-based clinical support tool shown to help REALIZE Band patients lose more weight^*

The REALIZE Band works in tandem with the REALIZE mySUCCESS^® Program to help you achieve your weight loss goals. This Web-based clinical support tool is designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

REALIZE mySUCCESS^® was developed in consultation with surgeons, dietitians, and behavior modification specialists who identified two essential stages for success following surgery. Stage 1: Building healthy habits over the first 18 months. Stage 2: Staying motivated, on track, and connected with your bariatric practice over the next 18 months and beyond.

You'll learn and practice strategies that will help cement your healthy habits—and help you achieve your healthier weight. In fact, it has been shown that REALIZE Band patients who frequently use REALIZE mySUCCESS^® lose significantly more weight.^* REALIZE mySUCCESS^® also keeps you connected with your bariatric team and allows your doctor to step in precisely when needed to keep you on track. You and your doctor can watch your progress and fine-tune your plan. This level of support is just one of the ways that the REALIZE Band differs from the LAP-BAND System.
