My doctor has me waiting 8 weeks between fills. He is very slow. I wish it would have been every 4 weeks. The first few weeks are great and then the restriction becomes less and less but that is me everyone is different.

Hello,
Just curious if anyone finds that their band gets tighter a few days after their fill. I seem to see no difference right after my fill but about 3 or 4 days later I am not hungry at all. I would think you would feel the tightest right after a fill. Just wondering if anyone else is having the same results.

. This was wonderful... Thank you so much.

I need to spell check my emails...bride that is. You are a beautiful bride.

I am still trying to hit that magical green zone. I have always been a big eater so I love eating smaller portion. It is so cool to feel full with such a small amount of food. I am loving it.

I was wondering the same thing so thank you for the explanations on the green zone. My conclusion is I am not quite there yet but hopefully getting close. Sure wish my doctor was more aggressive with the fills. 5 months since I was banded and I just got my 3 fill. I now have 4cc's in my 10 cc band. Oh well I will be patient. Thank you for the question and the replays.

I will be thinking about you on your wedding day....make sure you share pictures with us, Congratulations to you and your new husband to be...you will make a beautiful bride!

. Me too. I could never understand why I could gain the weight back so quickly. I forgot about Diet Center I did that one too. All the money involved with all these diets wow! I still find myself being drawn into any ad I see for weight loss. I think to my self maybe I should try that one. I have to stop myself and remember I have done something about it lap band surgery. Old habits are hard to break I guess.

. Hi Debbie, I always love reading your posts. You give me hope on reaching that green zone. Not quite there yet but have great hopes it will be my next fill! The last fill I had helped a little but I still get hungry within 4 hours. What your message teaches us is be patient and everyone is different. Thank you for sharing your story

That is what we all hope for! Can't wait for that day myself.

Congratulations Debbie...

. So you have had 4 fills in 2 months ....wow....I am really frustrated because I do not feel any restriction what so ever....I hope the fill tomorrow will help.

. Congratulations!

Wow! You look great.

Will do.... You are so correct I get so much out of others....

Oh my gosh Debbie what a wonderful blog. I feel like I was there getting a fill myself. I am not scheduled for my first fill until November 20. My doctor is making me wait 6weeks before I get my first fill. I have wondered many times when I will start feeling full as you described. Thank you for a wonderful blog.

Feeling really good not a lot of pain. Cannot believe it is over!

I am 9 days post op and feel great as well. I am starting to feel hungry though.

Yah. For all of us who will be having surgery in October

Day 3 for me. Feeling amazingly well. Of course a little sore but better than I thought I would feel. Not hungry wish it could be like this forever! Seems to be a lot of complaints about gas pains. I certainly had them especially in the shoulder but they seem to be getting better everyday. Question does everyone have to give themselves levonorgestrel injections after their surgery...just wondering. I have to have them for 7 days. They actually taught my husband how to give them to me. I reminded him marriage was for better or for worse!
