Going next week but afraid of being too tight. Banded Dec 4 with 2 fills. Have never has any problems digesting food and don't want to start. Still confused when I will know the green zone. Advice?

When you can go 3 to 4 hours on a small amount of food without being hungry.

I don't understand? If you're not experiencing the green zone now, why fear another fill when it's what you obviously need?

People who are too tight can always go back and have a little taken out.

Digesting food is not a real problem for any of us. Not losing weight is also common if your band is not adjusted properly. Keep going back for fills/adjustments till you get the fill that helps you feel more satiety and eat less.

I didn't feel any restriction/satiety till my 3rd fill, 4 months after surgery. And then it took another 3 fills to reach the green zone.

Best of luck.

Thanks. Going Friday. So many people with them have expressed trouble with being too tight I am now paranoid LOL

You wouldn't be human if you aren't a little paranoid and afraid.
