What Size Band And How Much Fluid?

I just got a fill today, I haven't had one since September last year! I now have 7cc in a 10cc band...I came home and drank a cup of coffee and I feel so full. I haven't had anything today except a protein shake!! Did anyone else experience this? Maybe just maybe I can be in the green zone this time! What's your size and how fluid did it take you to get to the green zone????? :))

I also have a 10cc band and I had my first green zone at 6cc. Then I lost a bit of weight and felt like it was just staying exactly the same, no gain and no loss for weeks and even months. I got a fill to 7.7 and lost quite a bit more weight and then of course it leveled off again. At that point I was 155 pounds and 145 would be normal BMI for me. I went and got 0.3cc (total now 8cc) and lost 15 pounds in a couple of months...I have since leveled off at 140 and I am just thrilled.

Oh wow that is wonderful!!!! I have been at 198 for over a month now, startin weight 230 and I'm 5'7, this is my first fill since sept last year so im hoping I can get this weight to start going down again!!! It's so frustrating!!!! Thank you for your reply makes me look forward to something :)

I have a size 10 band too and I am filled somewhere between 6.5 and 6.8. The PA said I have 6.5 but when I add up all my adjustments I show 6.8. I haven't had a fill since September also and don't feel like I am in the green zone either. I am still hungry within 2 to 2.5 hours of eating. I sure am hoping she will give me one when I go in next month! I hope this will be your sweet spot too!

I have a 10cc band with 5cc's at the moment. I have only had one fill. I saw my dr last week and she didnt feel I need another fill because i was doing well. I was fine with that. I dont get hungry in between meals and I cant eat a lot of food. Im pretty happy at the moment

I had some soup earlier and I can tell the restriction has totally gotten better since my fill! I ate a little of it and feel full/satisfied! It's wonderful I hope it last though and it's not just because I'm swollen from the fill! Fingers crossed! I was the same way! Hungry all the time so I would just eat what I had in the house that would go down easy and keep me satisfied at the moment then 2 hrs later I was hungry again!!! What helps me is I set my phone alarm for every 2.5 hrs to make me eat something with protein in it and I felt fine doing that and wasn't just hungry all the time!!!! Good luck ladies and I hope that you can get a fill so you can have a good restriction soon!!!!!!
