Oh, ok so youre a 'band over GB'...I think it will really be good for you...we have something big (LOL) in common! I gained a ton of weight on prednisone to and I have often wondered if taking it repeatedly as a child (I have been photographed for medical literature for my outrageous repeated cases of poison ivey and oak) is why I am the only fatty in my family! The last time I took it was in 2001 I think and it was 80 mg per day at the highest but as soon as I would try to taper down the rash on my legs was climbing from high on my thighs to well, I just couldnt let it go any higher! I have had it since but refused the steroids and just scratched the hell of of myself!Those are some evil drugs!!!They also made me a little (more) crazy!

Well good luck and please ask me anything you want to about the procedure...

PS Yes I have slacked a little on the protein and a lot on the water...thanks for the clue!
