10 cc band

My Dr. said he used the 10 cc band on me. What is the big difference? Does mine just hold more? :help: I was banded Aug. 15.

    I think the band is more circular and it holds more fluid. the older bands were closer to a horse shoe and the new bands are closer to a circle.

    There are two 10CC capacity Lap-Bands in use in the USA at this time. One is the older VG band, the other is the newer APS band.

    The differences between bands is the diameter of the band, to allow for individual anatomical differences, and the capacity of the band in CCs of saline. There are design differences between the older 9.75CM, 10CM and VG bands and the newer AP series of bands, the APS and the APL.

    In a nutshell, the bands ALL work the same, the surgeon selects the band size that he/she feels will fit your stomach the best.
