lovyac 5 Posted December 14, 2010 Hello- I am 51 and I live with rheumatoid arthritis. I was banded sept 2nd and thought I was doing good. I have lost a total of 19 pounds mostly from pre op. I live in NY. I have 4 children youngest age 19 (only one home) and my greatest supporter. I have had 3 fills and not restricted as of yet. constantly gaining 2 and losing 2. my daughter bought me a treadmill so I exercise when I can (because of health) I would like to thank whoever is willing to help me out in advance.
