i think it depends on the size of things on the inside. I was told that they go for the one that is going to fit best. I got the 10cc band and he filled it with 1cc at the time of surgery. I read on here that some people start with a band with more cc than that, but i think it really depends on how things are once they get in there. I imagine if the 10cc band is too snug then they go for the next one up and then just be sure to put in a few cc to make it snug but not too gripping.

I wouldn't have angst about this as your surgeon will do what is best for your success.

some of it is dr preferences. my dr only uses one size the LB large 14cc

My doc also only uses the 14cc band. It doesnt matter how big we are. He has a man as a patient that was well into his 400 plus pounds and over 6ft tall and I was a starting weight 262 at 5ft 2in.

I have an Allergan 14c with omniform (latest Allergan band) with 1.5 prefill.
