I had my first fill yesterday and asked the doctor what size band I had and how much it can hold and he said "14". He gave me 4cc, but I expressed concerns about the pressure I felt in my chest, so he took 1cc out. I woke up today and the pressure was gone, thank goodness. I'm just wondering if anyone was told what does the doctor base his decision on when placing a certain size band.

It thinks it pretty much depends on your anatomy. I have no idea what size band I have and frankly I don't care, as long as it keeps working for me!

The nurse told me at my first visit that I must have smaller anatomy because my doc put the smaller band on me. I think she said mine was.a 10 or 11. Which a first kinda scared me since she pretty much filled it up the very first fill.

But I am only at little over 6cc right now and im well over 1/2 way to my goal. So I am not to concerned about it now. After you hit your spot you get little tiny fills from there.
