Hola,

Was reading some posts and it occurred to me that I don't know (or don't remember) how many cc's my band is/holds. Anyone know what is standard size nowadays with the Realize band?

If it's an actual Lap band and not a Realize band, then according to Allergan's site the standard holds 10cc's and the large holds 14. Not sure for the Realize band...

My Realize band is 14cc's. I was banded in September of 2010. When I left the hospital with my paperwork there was a card in my folder that had the certification/serial # of my band and the size and date it was implanted. If you got any of that it should tell you the size. Hope this helps.

I have a standard size Allergan band that is 10cc. I went for my first fill today and she put in 2cc. :D

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
