Just got back from Dr.'s appointment. I was banded 1/31/11, and have had 3 fills 1 month apart. Weighed in today, lost 6.5 lbs since last visit 1 month ago.
He has that chart on the wall, the one with the 3 colored zones, yellow, green and red. Under each zone are list of symptoms.
I am in the green, satisfied with small meals, not hungry between meals, steady weight loss, comfortable restriction, etc.
He asked if I ever experienced any symptoms in the red zone. I said sure, when I do something stupid like take a large swallow, don't chew properly, eat foods I know won't be good.
In other words, I've been stuck, had pain, and regurgitated. But I know why, and it is not the norm.
He said I am now in the "Fine Tuning Mode", add/subtract 1/2cc here and there as needed. But today no fill.
Come back in 2 months instead of 1 month, and we will know for sure.
