parnelli 0 Posted November 19, 2006 I have not been banded yet. I am doing some research first. I thought I could get some really good information by joining this group. I am really kind of scared, however, I am quite overweight and I am starting with the metobolic syndrome. That means, borderline diabetic, high blood pressure, cholestoral ect; I sure you all know all about that. I do have lupus, with kidney involvement which makes me somewhat more leary. My husband just says to me "stop eating" I was on prednisone for 8 years and I gained 60 lbs. I was like 200 not 260. I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

ChristineJ 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Hi Parnelli, I am new to this board and also have SLE and am seeking banding. Just wondering where you are in your journey and how you have been making out health/weight wise? ChristineJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
