I have 10.5cc in my band right now. while i eat less than i did before the lapband, i have not reached the green zone. My advice: be patient, continue getting your fills at least once month, exercise daily.

Should I Get A Fill?
I have 9.5cc in a 14cc band. I have not yet reached the green zone yet. I have a problem with phlegm(a lot coming up) when i eat solid foods, but if i eat soft/wet foods(soups, chilli, smoothies) I have no problems(everything goes down and nothing comes up). should I go ahead and have another fill or wait.
