hi everybody just one question, has anyone ever lost weight with the band with little execerise, i have arthritis in both knees, and ankles, just went back to work on the 20th. and im in alot of pain. doc took away my arthritis meds, (my lapband surgeon said i could have them if they were small enough) but my doc said no. so ive been taking tylenol and lortabs for the pain and sometimes that doesnt help. im miserable just walking around . thats the reason for the band to lose the weight so i can walk without so much pain. so has anyone lost with not much exercise. thanks tammy
