So how many fills did it take everyone to reach there "green zone"? I know everyone is different but just wanted an idea.

mine was 3 trips. I had 2.5 in at surgery then a month later 1cc. A month later 1.5cc and another month later .5cc. so i have 5.5 in my 10cc band.

mine was 3 the first time . Each doctor decides how much they put in each time. I got 4cc at the time of the band then 1.5cc then 1cc in a 10 cc band

4 fills for the first time I hit the Green Zone, but as I lost weight and my stomach shrank I ended up needing another small fill months later.

I am working on this question as now I have 10 cc's in a 14 cc band and have had five fills , but I am noticing how full and stuck I get on some foods so I don't eat them any more so I am down to 224 lbs from 276 I started this journey Sept 28 , but I really quit doing soda and sugary stuff in July after my first visit to the surgeon , but like I said I had the band placed in Sept. 28th so bout oct is when I really started lol and I am still trying it seems slow but that's o k cause I don't want any back .

One fill 14 months ago. I think it was 3cc. I had so much to lose my dr wanted me to have at least one because he said your stomach will shrink. I am never hungry, have never been sick or stuck (knocking on wood!).

My signature shows my fill schedule. And I am still not in the zone. I am hungry and eat more than a cup. My doc has me wait a month between visits/fills.. Very bummed and have gained back four pounds.

Oct 15,2012 Surgery, no fill

1mth post op 3cc

2mth port flipped over no fill,

Jan23 revision surgery 1.5cc

6wks later tried 1cc, but had to take half out, water would not go down.

Total 5cc

I am just under 8 cc in a 14cc band...not there yet...(have had 4 fill and I also can only get one a month) waiting for some magic to happen...in my dreams anyway

My first fill was 3/20/13 and I had 3 cc's put in. I have lost a steady 1-2 lbs a week since then. Not sure if it is the green zone, but I am really never hungry anymore and I can only eat 1/2 to 1 cup of food.

I haven't found my green zone yet, but I was banded on 2/6/13 with 3cc and had my first fill on 3/25 for a total of 4cc in a 10cc band. I still find that I am hungry and can eat more than my 3 oz of protein and 3 oz of veggies.

Just got my first fill today 2cc, go back in 2 weeks. Banded 2/18/13. Lost 25lbs total.

Not in greenzone yet have 4cc in a 10 cc band. I try to only eat I cup max then water water water if I am still hungry then I have 1/2 more. Part of the challenge is eating the right sized bites and quality food. Surgery 1/10 first fill 3/07 next fill 04/17
