Size of Band

I have a 10cc band, but I'm curious about the different sizes. I understand that it's the Dr's choice on the size that they put in patients, but is there some kind of system that they generally go by? For example, do they put the smaller bands in larger people? Or in smaller people? Does anybody know anything about this?

    The size of your band is based on how much fat is around your stomach (internally). If you have a lot of fat around your stomach and a small band, you might have some problems with being too tight.
