Any bandsters who have Lupus or other arthritis?

[ChristineJ]

Hi all,

Could anyone tell me if they or anyone they know of who has Lupus (or other auto-amunne disease), has been banded and would like to share their experiences with me please?

I live in Canada on the west coast and would like to hear from anyone who could shed some light on this subject for me.

I have made the decission to have the Lap band over the roux-en-y gastric bypass. The only thing that concerns me is what, if any, affect having Lupus (mild to moderate & well controled) might have on having the Lap-band procedure.

Many thanks to you all.
