It took until my 4th fill to feel much difference, but so far it hasn't made any difference in my weight. I am eating less finally, but hovering in the same spot. I'm discouraged, but not giving up yet.

I don't even remember how many it took for me, I've had 7. Each time after the 3rd it felt a little different. I haven't gotten one now for 2 months.

Honestly, if you have lost 7 lbs in a month- that is good.

The first time around I didn't feel anything at all until my third fill. After having surgery to restitch the band, it took four fills before I felt much restriction, and five fills to get to the green zone.

Of course, if you've got one of those (money-hungry IMHO) doctors that will only put in .2 cc's at a time, even in the beginning, it's going to take much longer.

From what I've read it can take people several fills in the first year before they can feel any difference.

I've had only 2 fills so far and I can tell you a few months after my first fill I felt like I was eating everything in sight although I had to do it much slower to compensate for the band. After this last fill 2wks ago I am definitely not hungry like I used to be and I honestly feel full for long periods of time to the point where I've incorporated more Protein shakes just to make sure I'm getting enough nourishment.

But you're right everyone is different don't be discouraged, you will find your "Green Zone".

Congrats on your first 7 lbs.

We're here for you :D

It took 3 for me. No difference at all until the 3rd (4 mths). I ate just as I had previously (hence the no weight loss). Then the magic started.....

Good luck to you!

Everyone is different....including the amount given with each fill.....I know a person who has g=had over 12 fills in 12 months....but only .5cc per fill....I had that much after my 2nd fill 2 months after surgery....

BTW, this person I refer to was miserable - unhappy for the whole year...hardley lost any weight...

I had two prior fills with 2cc's each fill and then on my third fill which was a few days ago, my surgeon put in 1cc. We think I am very close. I only know how much is in my band because she told me this last fill. I really haven't cared. Its not about numbers for me its about how I feel restriction wise and I think this last fill has me super close.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
