To Fill or Not to Fill

I was banded February 18th 2013. I've managed to lose approximately 85 pounds. I have 6.5 cc in a 10cc band. I am currently able to eat normal size bites of food. I really do not chew thoroughly and I have never thrown up or had a pb or stuck episode. I am was wondering if I needed to get a fill because I think that being able to take a normal bite and swallow with no issues maybe I may not have enough restriction. FYI I had 7 cc in and they removed .25 because I was too tight. I'm not hungry in between meals but I do take normal bites...I can eat 5 oz of food but I choose to stay with 4oz. I consume 700 to 800 calories a day...to fill or not to fill that is my question thank you please remember to be kind.

  • Why fight success? IMO-You should only get a fill if you are feeling hungry between meals. You sound like you're in a great green zone and we're all envious. tmf

Congratulations on the 85 -- wow! You are doing beautifully.

I agree with TMF. You're not hungry between meals and have lost a lot of weight, it sounds like Green Zone to me. Personally, I wouldn't risk getting too tight with another fill.
