AndreaE 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Why are there different sizes of the band (4 cc, 10 cc). How is it decided on who gets which?? Just curious. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mvpo8961 1 Posted July 20, 2006 Andrea I think it comes down to which band actually physically fits around the stomach. Some folks are bigger than others (thicker gastic walls). I think another factor is the amount of fat that has to be removed before band placement. My surgeon told me he would not be able to decide which size I needed until he was actually inside looking around. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
