REALIZE Band
The REALIZE Personalized Banding Solution is relatively new to the United States. The band is made by Ethicon Endo-surgery, a Johnson and Johnson company.
There are a limited number of surgeons that perform this procedure. As a matter of fact, only a few surgeons in the Tampa Bay area were hand selected to perform this procedure and Dr. Jessee was one of them.
The REALIZE program is made up of two key parts – the REALIZE Adjustable Gastric Band and Realize mySuccess™.
