Hi everyone:

I've seen a lot of people who claim their lap band only holds 4cc's of liquid and I'm confused by this. Inamed Health is the manufacturer of the gastric adjustable lap band, and according to the medical spec sheet (downloaded from the internet) all of the bands have a 10cc limit.

I did research for two years prior to having lap band surgery, and I have not seen/read anything that states that band only holds 4cc's total. Just curious as to where everyone is reading/hearing that information?

Same with me...my doctor told me the exact same thing, and I also have the 4cc band. :-)

I'm getting the size 10cm, 4cc band august 28th 2012.

there are 4,9,10,14cc vol bands now, have the surgeons office explain to you what size fll vol you have. the larger bands have a higher vol. to obtain to reach the sweet spot. Be patient and qork with the fill person and see them every week until it is right. The fill center should have a policy of returnat no charge in a week if fil is not adequate, i know that we do that for all of our patients.

This is true. My sister works for Allergan and there are 14cc bands.

I have an Allergan band that holds 14cc. Not sure now much I have in there but whatever it is, it's not working.
