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.

The REALIZE Band is shown to help patients lose significant weight and improve their health

In a 3-year clinical trial:

In the U.S., REALIZE Band patients in a clinical trial experienced a significant reduction in the key indicator of type 2 diabetes

  • Patients lost a mean of 40% of their excess weight at 1 year and 43% at 3 years.1
  • The REALIZE Band helped resolve 48.7% of type 2 diabetes, 78.3% of high cholesterol, and 94.6% of obstructive sleep apnea problems.1
  • Patients experienced a 22% increase in good cholesterol (HDL) 36 months after surgery. They also experienced a decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL), total cholesterol, and triglycerides.1

Information seminars: an important step to learn more about the REALIZE Band

If you're considering the REALIZE Band, we encourage you to attend an information seminar hosted by a REALIZE trained surgeon at a bariatric surgery clinic that offers gastric banding, gastric bypass, or sleeve gastrectomy. You'll learn about surgical options, you'll meet bariatric team members who will support you before and long after your surgery, and you may also hear from patients who have had weight loss surgery. There's no pressure to make a commitment—and no better way to get the answers you're looking for. Of course, family and friends are welcome, too.

Use our seminar finder to locate a seminar in your area, and register to ensure that you have a seat because seminars often fill up.
