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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
