Average Fill

All over the map. Everyone is different and there is at least one successful bander here who has a zero fill. Mine is up to 7.9 right now but I'm going for another 0.1 soon. I've had eight fills over a year and a half. Creeping to green. In my experience green may last a few months and then an adjustment is needed. Good luck.

In any case, work your band hard this first year. Results are less spectacular after one year, so try and get most of your weight off in the first 12 months.
