So I was banded on march 10th 2014. I've lost weight every month, but it's been all me - no restriction in the band yet. Then I got another fill june 18th. Knowing that I'm getting close to finally feeling some restriction I've been extremely careful and paying attention. I now know immediately if I take one more bite I'll be sorry. When that happens I stop eating and get the hiccups. Im not stuffed, I'm not hungry. Im just not hungry if that makes sense. I've timed it and even after 3-4 hours I'm still not hungry. Could I possibly be close to that mystical green zone? It sure feels like it.

Sure sounds like it. Some of us prefer our bands a little on the loose side, I do. Some like it tight. But, be careful if you go for tight? Now's the time to look for all those soft satiety signals and it sounds like you're feeling them now. Your most recent adjustment could settle in just as it is or, get a little tighter or looser. 2 weeks will tell.

Also, your esophagus and stomach become more efficient machines in massaging food through the stoma which can give off the appearance of your band loosening up when in fact the muscles that control peristalsis are gaining strength.

Sounds like you're getting there. Might need some tweaking. I have found that it takes a couple weeks for my fills to settle in

Thanks for the input guys. My next fill isnt for 4 more weeks. I figure that will give me time to see if a fill is needed or if I'm good right where I'm right. Wow what a difference it makes to finally have your band talk to you and tell you to stop.
