Inamed Band vs. Swedish Band vs. VG Band



Recommended Posts

Ok folks I cannot seem to find the info I am looking for.

What makes the largest band and what is the size???

Inamed

Swedish

VG Band

I need to know which is the largest band NOT which holds the most Fluid.

I have one doctor saying Inamed makes the biggest band and I have another doctor saying the Sweedish band is the biggest.

HELP!!!!!

Thanks,

Eric

I don't have complete info for you, but I can help you with part of your question. I think by the "Inamed" band, you're referring to the 9.75 and 10 cm bands (that both hold 4 cc's of fluid). The reason your question could be modified is that the VG band is made by Inamed too. The VG band is 11 cm in length (thus larger than the other Inamed bands) and holds (I understand you don't care about how much they hold but someone might) about 11 cc's of Fluid. So, the largest of the Inamed bands is the VG.

I have no idea how the VG compares in size to the Sweedish band. I also don't know if there's a difference in where the two bands are placed on the stomach -- that could impact your question too.

Happy searching!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
