There are two brands and surgeons typically select what size for each patient or have preference to size and brand. They are designed a tad bit different. You can Goggle them by brand and see them.

It really doesnt matter what band size we have or are filled to. There are two brands of bands an different styles. Gills are individualized to each person.

And yes our stomach do shrink due to the viseral fat lining around our organs. So the more weight we lose the looser the band becomes the more need for an added adjustment.

Remember, getting a fill is not based on feeling anything different. It should be based on are you losing weight and how long can you stay satisfied between meals when you are eating real food. It is a lot of head game in the beginning so don't let the "I need a fill" take over what we all need to be doing and that is eating properly in smaller amounts.

I keep asking what difference the band size makes but I don't get answers. If you are asking and telling people what size there must be a reason. Please share I really don't understand. Everyone is different. You can't judge by what others have.

From my understanding your band size is determined by your surgeon based on your internal anatomy...the size or how much is it is no revelant to anyone since everyone body responses differently to fills and the band itself.

I have a 14cc band. I get my first fill this Monday.

I just received my first fill. Apparently the surgeon had put in 4.5 during surgery. They added 1ML so now i'm at 5.5 out of 14ML. I hope it helps with my evening hunger!

I didn't know for awhile. It wasn't really important to know. I finally asked one day, just b/c everyone else seem to want to know.

I have no idea what size band I have, never asked, I have no idea how much is in my band. Never asked. I just know it works and that works for me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
