Dr. Ajay Goyal is now offering REALIZE Band procedures as part of his surgical weight loss program. The REALIZE Band extends standard gastric band weight-loss methods with a complete patient support system and lifestyle management program to assure your weight-loss success.

 

The REALIZE Personalized Banding Solution is made up of two key parts - the REALIZE Adjustable Gastric Band and the REALIZE mySuccess™ Patient Support System.

 

REALIZE Adjustable Gastric Band

• The REALIZE Band was designed and developed with your comfort in mind. The band is a strong, flexible silicone structure made entirely of biocompatible materials. No band is safer or more effective for weight loss than the REALIZE Adjustable Gastric Band.
   
• With the REALIZE Band, weight loss occurs at a natural and healthy rate - ranging from 1- 2 pounds per week on average.

 

REALIZE mySUCCESS Patient Support System

• REALIZE mySUCCESS is a personalized and interactive tool designed to help enable your long-term success. You and your doctor can set goals and continually watch your progress together - for up to 3 years - so that your doctor can intervene precisely when needed to keep you on track.
   
• With REALIZE mySUCCESS, you’ll establish a tailored progress plan, to develop new healthy habits in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and emotional well-being.

 

REALIZE mySUCCESS Patient Support System

Your commitment to weight loss and a healthier lifestyle is a long-term one; and our commitment to you is, too. The Realize™ Personalized Banding Solution is unique because, in addition to the REALIZE Band, it includes a one-of-a-kind patient support system - REALIZE mySUCCESS - that will help guide you on your journey to consistent, long-term weight loss.

Before and after surgery, this highly interactive web application provides the information you need, when you need it. REALIZE mySUCCESS is with you to support, inform, encourage and enable. Developed with the help of healthcare professionals and patients just like you, REALIZE mySUCCESS allows you to develop personalized eating and fitness plans, designed by you, for you. The application also provides a vital link to your health care team between visits, enabling your bariatric program to track your progress, and gather information needed to determine the correct band fill level for you.

In each section, you’ll find a wealth of helpful information and practical tips. Some sections may be more relevant to your current needs than others. REALIZE mySUCCESS has something to offer everyone; it’s comprehensive, flexible design lets you develop and implement eating and fitness plans to match your changing lifestyle.
