Hello Lynette, my name is jeannie from England. I had my surgery on July the 16th in Prague with Prof Fried so i am only 2 weeks post op. at the moment i have lost 8lbs and i am just starting to eat very small amounts of a light diet. i still have pain from my port but i think this will go in a few weeks. i am now back at work but very tired, How are you? Jeannie.

Hi KATRINA, thanks for your support, at the moment i am also desk bound but still have to drive in my job and that gives me pain with the gear stick. I am takeing things slowley and my manager lets me home early when i feel the need. I am sure things will get better soon, i am not rushing it. thanks jeannie.

Hi Katrina , thanks for your reply, I have also been a nurse for 20yrs and of tuff stock myself , with good pain control i am able to carry on at work but find i cannot lift much at the moment nor excersise but i am sure i will be able to start soon thanks again . jeannie.

Hi, sorry i have made you feel unsure regarding your OP, PLEASE don't hesitate about the band, the pain does get easier and with good pain relief you can carry on. Not everyone get's pain, My pain after 2 weeks is a lot better than at the begining, i am now back at work and doing fine with the diet. please let me know how you go on with the OP. JEANNIE.

Hi How are things going, my op was done in prague, I have lost 8lbs in 2 weeks so far, feeling a little hungry at times but my side is perminantly like i have a stitch after running 10miles i have just started puree foods have you ? Bye jeanniepannine

Hi All, I'm a newbie so please be gentle at first. My question is concerning pain around my "port". I'm 2 weeks post op and cannot sleep on my left side due to pain around the Port area. Has anyone suffered similar symptoms and when can I expect the pain to ease?? Cheers Jeannie
