So I've just found out that I've got a small lap name and it's 4ml... What did everyone else have when they had it first put in? Is that normal, appreciate any replies, thanks!!! X

How long ago was your surgery? The band has evolved from a 4ml band to a 10 ml band and some even put in a 14ml band. 5 years ago when I got my first band I got a 10ml and when I got my band replaced a month ago it was also a 10ml band. I was under the impression they didn't place 4ml bands anymore.

Yeah I had my surgery yesterday and he has put a 4ml in... Is this good/bad??? X

To be honest I didnt know they even made them that small, I too have a 10ml one.

Presumably you had the surgery in Mexico?

No babe England birmingham.. The hospital group .. Private hospital xxx

Mine is 4cc done in Mexico. Though I understand there is a higher complication rate I haven't had any problems. Good luck to you!

Do u loose more weight with the smaller bands? Xx

Mine is also a 10cc band; placed on 3/25/13.

I also read in these forums that there are more issues with the 4cc band. But that doesn't mean that everyone is going to have issues.
