[QUOTE="Jude, post: 255336, member: 8649"] Hello Everyone Thank you all for your various comments and suggestions - most of which I already agree with. However, I have not heard from anyone who has had the gastric band done and I was hoping there would be someone on the boards who has had it done, even if they lived to regret their decision. I have also been living with irritable bowel syndrome for 40 years - this benefits from a high carb eating regime but not from what would be considered a healthy diet eg plenty of vegs and fruit, wholegrains etc. I have also found it difficult to do any exercise until recently due to lower back problems and more recently problems with my knee which have been temporarily resolved with a cortisone injection and I have started to walk - slowly but surely - since the new year. However, I am very disappointed with the walking as it has not helped my bg or weight and although I am not walking a lot it is 200% more than I was doing last year. So all in all I am often damned if I do and damned if I do!! Anyway I see my Consultant on Wednesday so will see if I get chance to raise it with him and let you all know what he says - he is a very good doctor and I trust him implicitly. Jude :) [/QUOTE]
