which band

Hi all

just thought i would ask you all what band you thought was the best to have fitted and why?

My surgeon uses Obtech (swedish band) and also the american Inamed one.

Which one is easier to get fills for etc?

Many thanks

Tracey

    Tracey, if you're getting aftercare in the U.S. I'd definitely recommend getting only an Inamed band if you have a choice. Many U.S. doctors won't touch any other kind because they haven't yet been approved by the FDA.

    If you're elsewhere, your doctor will likely make the decision based on your anatomy and whatever else he deems pertinent.
