My doc said it depends on the size of your upper stomach.

    I had a haital hernia repair at the same time and the larger band was used to reduce the risk of the band slipping back up thru the hernia.

    My doctor told it's because it was the one they had in the OR!

    my doc said that the reason for different sizes is the amount of tissue around the persons upper stomach. Guys usually are banded with the 14 because they have more tissue. My doc said a male could have a 10ml band but it is safer and easier to find sweet spots with a 14 ml band.

    My surgeon said that in his office nearly all guys get 14s, while girls get 10s.

    does anyone know if the 14cc bands can get as small as the 10cc ones with enough fluid?
