What size is your band?



Recommended Posts

LOL_Thanks Lynn- So what does a 4cc band hold? the same ? Are they actually both the same band just people calling them different names?

same band. One is talking about it's size (10cm) and one is talking about it's capacity (4ccs)

It's like saying I have a large gas tank on my car. I can also say my gas tank holds 14 gallons. Same thing -- just a different way of talking about it.

I have the Inamed 10cm with 4cc capacity. There are 3 sizes of Inamed bands...9.75cm (4cc capacity), 10cm (4cc capacity) and the VG which is approx. 11cm (10cc capacity). One is not better or more beneficial than the other...there are different sizes to accommodate different sizes of anatomy. There is no benefit of having the VG if it's too big for your stomach, for example...a person in that situation would have a very hard time getting enough restriction...and a person for whom the 9.75cm was too small would have a hard time eating properly because they'd be way too tight.

The surgeon should have the various sizes available at the time of the surgery and place the one best suited to that particular patient...

well come on down little filly and we'll set you up. although I wasn 't aware of the ratio bing that skewed. WOW!!!!!!!!!!! 2 to 1 huh? well I said I was going to quite smoking and get divorced when I turned 40 but looks like I better keep her with the ratio that wide. I told her when SHE turned 40 I was going to trade her in for two 20 year olds. She laughed and said I wasn't wired for 220. OI!!!! Anyway it's cheaper to keep her and I reckon I still love her more than anything on this earth.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
