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
