    Just to update, talked to the Dr. and no problem with Enbrel just stay off it for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after! Maybe this will work out, praying for good news

    I have arthritis in my knees, spinal stenosis (arthritis of the spine), and had back surgery in 2004. I was banded in June 2009. I now walk 3 miles every morning. Couldn't do that before banding and weight loss. I love my band!:D
