I'm Not Sure What Is Happening

I had my surgery on July 20, 2011. I was filled twice, a total of 6 cc's. I felt restriction for the first two months after the second fill, but now it's different. I don't feel full or satisfied. I eat more than what is recommended by my surgeon. I thought I found the green zone, but now it's like the opposite. Is it time for another fill?

yes.

yes, as you lose weight you lose fat where the band is at, that is the reason for more fills so you can keep it tight.

yep you need another fill. As time passes, you lose around your band, another fill will probably help you out alot!

As you lose weight, the fat surrounding your stomach shrinks, so your band feels "looser" (it's not actually looser), and you need more fill for the band to keep doing its job. One of the frustrating things about the band is that once you arrive in the green zone, you don't necessarily stay there forever!
