Fill Number 5



Recommended Posts

This is a question for those of you in your green zone.

I received fill number 5 today. I am now at 6.1cc in a 10cc band. Was it like an "ahh ha" moment when you reached the green zone? I know it is only the first day since my latest fill but it feels like it made a huge difference!

Just curious if it is my brain playing tricks on me or could the green zone be possible???

I have 6.5 in my 11 cc band. It wasn't an 'ah-ha' per se. It was a few days after the fill when I was ready to eat dinner and realized my 1 cup of food for lunch had kept me full until dinner time. It was a 'ah sweet!!' moment then!

No ah-ha here. I just realized that I was able to manage my daily food intake.

I did sort of have the "Ah Ha" moment; I had several fills (took 6 months) to get to green zone; I don't have hunger as often and I can eat 1 cup at meal time and fill satisified

I have a 14cc band and had it placed on 6/25/12. My surgeon filled 4cc the day of surgery and am up to 7cc at this point. I have to say I still have days when I feel like I could eat more way more than I know I should. Hope I get to the point of actually feeling full and satisfied here soon!

Well it is now three days after my last fill and it has slacked off a little. I guess is was just a little bit of swelling from the fill that made me feel the restriction! Hopefully next time it will be back to where I was a few days ago.

for me it has been several ahaha moments. I was told by my doctor its normal cause your band loosens as you lose fat around the stomach.

Yes it was for me this week...ah ha...I can only put about 1/4 in my stomach now, and if I follow those rules we have learned, it won't stick and I'm full. Now I just need to concentrate on staying hydrated because I don't really ever feel hungry. I have lost 9 pounds since October 15 which is way crazy but it was the adjustment I needed to get me off plateau. Granted I'm a little more restricted than I prefer but I am getting solids down as long as I slow eat, chew a lot, and take small bites...so important now than ever. I bought a pair of used Lucky jeans for 16.00 and the size 12 are loose!!!! I would have never believed I would go below that!!!! I would have been satisfied with size 16 when I first got my band. Reach for the stars!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
