Best I can tell is its when you can go approx 4 hours between meals before getting hungry and reaching satisfaction with less food. I havent got there yet and have only had one fill. Hopefully, I will know this personally one day. :D

Some say hunger is taken care of only between meals...The chart says "Not Hungry"....I am one that is never hungry, 24 hours a day...the band is there all the time, so why should the benefits not be there all the time .....never understood how the band can work just some of the time....but that's me, not everybody....

Also, I get automatic portion control...there is just so much I can eat, making it IMPOSSIBLE to overeat.....so things like buffets, parties, big holiday dinners, etc....don't concern me the slightest.....either does head hunger....

With all that I have had good steady weight loss, untill there was nothing left to loose (fat). And all that equals "Patient Satisfaction", YOU BET!!!!

EASIEST thing I have ever done...nothing compared to the struggles of dieting.....

I am due to have my 1st fill 9-2 and I'm sure it will work for me as I eat(drink) my liquids 3x a day and drink Water and ice tea inbetween. Usually feel full after that. I'm not losing weight but after the fill I think I wll. I do take meds that are weight gainers so I might have to try harder. But not worried as long as I have a steady loss evenb1 to 2 lbs every other week and not gaining. I just want to be in the green zone. I took 3 bites of watermelon yesterday I thought I chewed thoroughly but within seconds I knew I hadn't, it came up and I felt much better and 10 min later had a fruit smoothy with vanulla Protein powder and it was great. No after effects.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
