Everyone's fill to the green zone is different. Some need very little and some need a lot. I'm not there yet, so I can't tell you how much for me.

You can get stuck at anytime during your lap band journey, if you're taking too big a bite, not chewing enough, eating to much. Do you see yourself doing any of these things?

Sometimes a certain food just can't be tolerated anymore, so keep note on what your eating when getting stuck, if none of the other things are causing your problems.

Hope you can figure this out and good luck!

I have had 2 fills and i'm not there yet. It is different for each bandster. I have an appointment for my 3rd fill Jan 30th. When you get stuck, pay close attention to the circumstances. What were you eating? Was your bite too big? Did you chew enough? Were you focused on your meal? There may be several factors. I have had a few close calls with being stuck, but I had messed up one of those things. Once was too big of a bite, once was eating too fast, once was dry turkey.

Good Luck on your journey.
