Thanks for your Reply, Please could you share any Diet with me Prof Fried hasn't answered my Email regarding what i should be eating in my 4th week.I dont know what the SAGB means compared to the others, does this band not need filling as much. It was great to hear from you. thanks Jeannie.

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

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, 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.
