I was Banded back in 2006. Back then there was only 1 type of Band. I see now, everyone that is Banded, has a different size Band.

I want to know if there are still any of you out there with the 4cc Band? If so,, How do you like it and how was your weight loss with this band?

Only those Banded in the states please, because I have been told that they use that little band in Mexico still, and it's full of problems.

So no Disrespect to the Mexican Bandsters. Just looking for those from the States.

I was banded I. Mexico and have had no complications at all. In fact I've heard just the opposite that the newer generation bands are having issues because they were rushed into production because of the competition getting a green light from the FDA. As soon as J&J received FDA approval Allergan from my understanding rushed on the next generation of bands in a bid to compete with the only other FDA approved band. No ofense taken, I was just curious. After speaking with a few different health professionals I actually wanted to go to Mexico so I could get the 4cc band as opposed to what's being used in the states. I've also heard conspiracies behind the newer bands and why they hold more fluid (takes longer to achieve "green zone"

Well I am so glad you like your band, because I know I like mine.....

They should have a site for 4cc bands because they are different.

Also a reunion for the original Band would be nice.

I actually think the 4cc bands sound a lot better than newer bands in terms of finding restriction and keeping restriction. It only takes a fill or two, not seven or eight. And every fill I had took me to the sweet spot that was right for me at that particular time.
