Best I can tell is its when you can go approx 4 hours between meals before getting hungry and reaching satisfaction with less food. I havent got there yet and have only had one fill. Hopefully, I will know this personally one day. :D

Some say hunger is taken care of only between meals...The chart says "Not Hungry"....I am one that is never hungry, 24 hours a day...the band is there all the time, so why should the benefits not be there all the time .....never understood how the band can work just some of the time....but that's me, not everybody....

Also, I get automatic portion control...there is just so much I can eat, making it IMPOSSIBLE to overeat.....so things like buffets, parties, big holiday dinners, etc....don't concern me the slightest.....either does head hunger....

With all that I have had good steady weight loss, untill there was nothing left to loose (fat). And all that equals "Patient Satisfaction", YOU BET!!!!

EASIEST thing I have ever done...nothing compared to the struggles of dieting.....

I am due to have my 1st fill 9-2 and I'm sure it will work for me as I eat(drink) my liquids 3x a day and drink Water and ice tea inbetween. Usually feel full after that. I'm not losing weight but after the fill I think I wll. I do take meds that are weight gainers so I might have to try harder. But not worried as long as I have a steady loss evenb1 to 2 lbs every other week and not gaining. I just want to be in the green zone. I took 3 bites of watermelon yesterday I thought I chewed thoroughly but within seconds I knew I hadn't, it came up and I felt much better and 10 min later had a fruit smoothy with vanulla Protein powder and it was great. No after effects.
