Hi simon, I also had my lap band fitted by Prof Martin Fried. I had alittle pain in my port side for a few weeks but i am alot better, i am concerned that when i read the threads that most people are having fills, Prof Fried told me i may never need one did he say the same to you? and if so why? it would be great to hear any explanation. thanks jeannie.

Hi Jeannie

He also told me this. I guess it is because we have the SAGB fitted not the more common rigid bands. I am now 7 weeks post op and have lost weight fairly consistently at about 1 kg per week. However, it has slowed down and I seem to be able to eat more and be hungry more often. I have emailed prof fried and will let you know what he says.

He seems a little conservative when it comes to fills .... but I can not complain... it is working for me.

Simon

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
