I was banded 2/18/13. I am down 43lbs. I have had two fills. One fill was 3cc the other one was this past Monday and it was 2cc. I have a total of 5cc in a 10 cc band. Here's the thing with the first fill nothing and hungry in between meals. The second fill which was three weeks later Im not hungry in between meals. I'm very satisfied on 4oz of food per meal. I am scheduled for another fill in two more weeks. Is this considered the green zone? Is it possible to be there so quickly? Would u all things considered have another fill? Anxious to here your opinions. Thank you.

Since everyone says each person is different, I would listen to your body. If you are loosing and staying full, I feel your doc will let you know if you do not need additional. How awesome to be there so soon!

Thank you Kitt3000...

To fill or not to fill.....

You are feeling some restriction. Is it enough? Could be, but in two weeks it might not. Don't worry about having a fill right now. Wait until your appointment and see how you are then.

I went through this every time I was scheduled for a fill, get one don't get one. What I ended up doing was talking with my doctor and deciding that day.

Good luck to you.

Wonderful...thank you ajtexas...I really do value your advice...I'm going to do just that.

You very well could be in the Green Zone! Some people are even with empty bands while some need a lot of fills. It's dependent on your anatomy.

Btw, I am in the Green Zone with 5.2cc in my 10cc band

I would see what happens between now and your next appointment. If you are still able to go at least 4 hours between meals without hunger, then I personally wouldn't get another fill. However if you find your hunger returns between now and then I'd consider another small one.

Best wishes.
