Autoimmune Disorders And Lapband

[stept66 0]

I have a question requarding autoimmune disorders and lapband. I found out from Alergan that the lapband is not for people with autoimmune disorders. I have psorisis a skin condition (it's autoimmune). I had my first dr. visit and nothing was mentioned, it was in the forms I filled out, but I did not mention anything cause I did not know yet. I know I still need to talk to my Dr. but I was just curious if anyone happen to know anything or maybe had the procedure and has psorisis or something similar

I have Rhuematoid Arthritis and my doctor/surgeon said that it wasn't a problem or it didn't disqualify me. I'm sure you will be fine, but you have to let them know.
