The lapband made by Allergan comes in sizes: APS 0-10 CC and APL 0-14CC

There are several ports that can be placed with these bands the typical port is the standard profile port (14.7mm).

The REALIZE band by Johnson & Johnson is a wider band at (23 mm) with fill levels of 9CC or REALIZE band C at 11CC but the band itself is one size fits all.

Depending on the Surgeon you have and the product/s they use, it is determined at the time of surgery the size of the band you will need to work best with your anatomy.

Good luck in your journey.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
