How Many Fills Are Normal

[reved1 0]

I am getting ready for my second fill. I have a 10cc band and my first fill brought me up to 5 cc's. What is the normal number of fills that can be expected?

Unfortunately there is no "normal". It's all relative not only to the size of your band but the size of your stomach as well.

I've known people who have 6 or more fills and still have no restriction, whereas there's people like me with great restriction almost immediately and in the Green Zone by the 3rd fill.

I have a 10cc band, and I have had 3 fills as of right now. I'm still in the yellow zone, and I have zero restriction. I have 6cc. Everyones sweet spot is different. Good Luck!!!

What do you mean by restriction and the green zone?

Here is a good explanation of the "Green Zone". Restriction refers to tightness of the band, thus resulting in the Green Zone.

I am definitely the exception, not the rule. I had some restriction even when my band was empty. I do think I'm going to get a small fill this month, maybe .5 at the most, because I noticed I'm getting hungry before it's time for dinner lately.
