Hey everyone! I hope someone can answer this question accurately for me. I was banded one month ago. At my 2 week post op i asked the nurse what size of band i had she just looked at the chart and said "you have an AP Standard". I figured that was a 10 cc band. When I got my first fill today I asked the doctor how many cc's he would give me and he said 3 or 4, you have a 14 cc band. I know that Mondays for him are fill days and he sometimes has 15-20 people get fills in one day...do you think he was confusing me with someone else? I mean, my chart says AP Standard...what size is that exactly? I did get 4 cc's in my fill today...thanks for the help!

I was told I also have an ap which is about comparable to 10cc band. My 1rst fill was only 1.5cc's 5 days ago and I don't feel any restriction at all. My doc says to give a fill about 2 weeks. I don't understand the sizes of these bands either, I just know that I was told I had the new band. Good luck to you!

There is an APS or Advanced Platform Small which is 10 cc/mL and an APL or Advanced Platform Large which is 14cc/mL
