    for those that started out not in the green zone and then got to it. was it a gradual process or just that 3rd or 4th fill or whichever and then it hit? The reason I ask is that after a couple of fills, while I definitely fill up faster I can still eat a pretty large amount of food. I can eat a six inch sub and chips with no problem but I probably could not eat a foot long. I dont really have to eat slowly or chew my food that well. i try to, but i dont really have to. I have never felt like been at risk of sliming, pb'ing, or throwing up. the most feeling ill get is maybe my first bite or two of a meal I'll feel pressure like i have to burp, and then i'll burp, and then I can eat fine after that.
    im hoping that the next fill gets me there. last time i was there there they actually put in 2 cc's but when i drank Water it felt like it was just sitting there so they took 1 cc out. maybe i need another .5

    Thanks, I'm going back this wednesday for another fill. I think maybe .5 cc will do it for me - I'm hoping anyway. I have 6.5 in a 14cc band right now and last time I was there they overfilled and I got that feeling you described - I drank some Water and it felt like it was just sitting there so they took 1 cc out (they had put in 2cc)
    you sound like you are doing great now and good luck to you! it sucks that you had to go through a second surgery but I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end.
