That's why we created REALIZE mySUCCESS^®. It's a Web-based clinical support tool designed to help you achieve and maintain a healthier weight. Only the REALIZE^® Solution^† for gastric banding, gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy includes REALIZE mySUCCESS^®. Frequent users of REALIZE mySUCCESS^® lose significantly more weight.^*

Watch how REALIZE mySUCCESS^® helps patients stay motivated, on track, and in touch with their doctors after surgery:

There for you every step of the way

REALIZE mySUCCESS^® was designed in consultation with bariatric surgeons, dietitians, and behavior modification specialists who identified two essential stages for success after bariatric 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.

Stage 1

As you set weight loss goals with your doctor, REALIZE mySUCCESS^® helps you adjust to your new lifestyle. 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 patients who frequently use REALIZE mySUCCESS^® lose significantly more weight in the first 18 months after surgery.^*

Stage 2

To help you maintain your healthier weight, REALIZE mySUCCESS^® keeps you connected with your bariatric team and allows your doctor to step in to assist when needed to keep you on track. You and your doctor can watch your progress and fine-tune your plan. Meanwhile, you can keep customizing your strategies and practicing your healthy habits.

Only REALIZE mySUCCESS^® provides your bariatric team with updates that allow your doctor to step in precisely when needed to keep you on track. This high-level support is yet another way that the REALIZE Band differs from the LAP-BAND System.
