whitedobe 13 Posted October 10, 2012 What is the difference between the two, other than the obvious? How does that affect weight loss and fills? I have the 4 cc band, so I would think I'd need fewer fills. Thanks for any info! Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted October 10, 2012 The only difference is the size and the fact the 4cc bands are no longer used. Best wishes! 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and PattyGirl66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonyann 8 Posted October 10, 2012 I have a 14cc band and have gotten 2 fills so far a total of 5cc and have very little restrection ,so i will for sure need more fills to get to the green zone and start loseing more weight ! thats the diffrence ! it is frustrating but i will get there it will just take me a little longer ! my Dr. said i needed the larger band since i did have i heidit hernia and my stomach would be more swollen after surgery!

Rojasanoll 920 Posted October 10, 2012 I have a 14cc band and I only have 1 fill so far for a total of 3cc. The doctor pre-filled my band during surgery day of 1.5cc. The top of everyones stomach are different diameters. So this is why they make 8,10,12,14cc bands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lousianalady 44 Posted October 10, 2012 Why do they put such a small amount each fill? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted October 10, 2012 Why do they put such a small amount each fill? So you don't blow right past the green zone and into the red zone. Some people reach the green zone at 2 or 3cc, while others don't find the green zone til they are 7, 8, 9cc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
