Hi i was banded June 18th 2012 so im 3 months post op, i have a 10cc band with 4.5cc in it, i really think i may be in the green zone, ive noticed i get full really quick and dont get hunry for 4 to 5 hours lately...i also feel really tight and have to chew my food extra long after my 3 fill which was on Sept 13..im just curious should i get another fill at my scheduled app oct 11th...what do everybody think about this??

I went thru same struggle this past week on whether to get a full or not. I was banded July 2 and have I think 5.5 in my band? How much u have in the band doesn't really matter...everyone is different.

I was getting full with about 8 ounces of food and staying full for a good 4-5 hours. I'm also losing about 2 pounds a week. So when I went in for my full appt this past Thursday, the doctor said he normally doesn't fill if I'm not getting hungry and if I'm losing at least 5 a month. Both of which I was doing. He said sometimes we have this like thought that maybe I need more fill so I can lose more, but of u r over filled, u actually GAIN ause u eat slider foods that make u gain weight.

I would have the talk with ur dr when u get there and see what they think. Don't be afraid to accept ur in green. I think that's my problem...I didn't want to accept that I was already in green. My dr agreed to give me a very small fill to try and if it feels too tight, I'll go take that last fill out and I'll know I'm in green for sure. So far I'm ok...I think this might be a good fit for me.

So yea...u sound like u might be around green. If ur losing, that's the important part!

I can't wait to get another fill, I feel hungry all the time! You are lucky

I am at 4.5 and have been for 9 monthes and I feel great and since I have lost my weight I am maintaining . if I have more I am constantly sliming and getting stuck My Dr said everyone is different and I was losing and so that was the right amount for me.

Ok cool so maybe i am there i sure feel like it, i just dont want to get another fill then be to tight...thnks everyone.

Aug 20 band date got my first fill last week and dont feel anything differant and I am hungry I go in in two weeks for another fill that should do it. that would be 6cc. I just hae getting hungry every 2 hours.

Everyone is different, but go with your "gut feeling". Play on words there. Sounds like your right on the mark.
