:help: Greetings everyone!!! At the age of 48, I had my lapband surgery( or should I say re-birth) on 10/15/2004 By Dr. George Fielding At NYU Hospital. My weight the day of surgery was 268lbs., and by 02/2006 I weighted 131lbs. At that time I was hospitalized due to complications of Lupus and put on high dosages of steriods, which I am still on now but at a very small dose. In the process I now weight 184 lbs. and my weight just keeps slowly creeping up. I am so fearful of gaining back all the weight I gained that It has me depressed. I justam looking for helpful suggestions or encouragement. I am so glad that this forum is here. If there is anyone out there who has had to taken steriods ( prednisone) for any medical conditions and you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks:)
