This is about my journey into the land of Lap-Band. After struggling with my weight for all of my adult life, I have decided to do finally something about it. My Surgery Date was December 11, 2009

Band Size?
Just curious what size band most of you have. The doctor said he either puts a 10cc or a 14cc band in. Most men get the 14cc and he said only about 30% of his female patients get the 14cc and the rest 10cc. Any thoughts or explanations on this would help me out, because I think he said he determines it on a patient by patient basis. But I also thought he said that it was partially up to us. Guess I will have to clarify that with him.

I have read that it's also due to stomach size (so one woman in my group thought she'd get a 10 cc band but ended up with 13 to accomodate her stomach).
ReplyDeleteI guess men have larger stomachs?
Mine is a 10cc REALIZE band.
