REALIZE BAND Surgery induces weight loss by reduciing the amount of food that your stomach can hold at one time. This helps you gradually lose weight and keep it off. So you can live a healthier life — for your children, your family, and yourself.
How REALIZE BAND Surgery Works
Without any stomach cutting or stapling, the REALIZE BAND reduces your stomach’s capacity, restricting the amount of food you are able to eat at one time. Plus, you feel full faster and stay full longer, so you wind up eating less.
