Gotta a question. I tried to find a thread on it and didnt find one...

I see all the different sizes of bands. What is taken in consideration for the size of the band that is used? I didnt discuss it with my Dr....I know the brand and was happy with that. I never thought much on it until I have seen others mention how big their band is and I realized mine is small in comparison. Just curious why the different sizes and what is taken into consideration for your size band....

Just like each person has different size feet, hands, nose, brains...so are our stomachs. I actually asked my surgeon about this. The size of the band is not related to how much weight you need to lose, it's regarding the size of our anatomy. Some people just have a larger stomach, and the size of your stomach does not correspond to your weight.

Thank you. I was thinking that was the case but I wasnt sure. =)
