I have Lupus, and actually had a revision from Lap-Band to the Sleeve April 24th. The hardest part was being off of my anit-inflammatory pre-op but since I've been losing, honestly I feel so much better. Joints aren't as stiff, muscles don't ache all the time. Doc thinks the lap-band may have been contributing to my flares, body's response to the foreign body and all.

So far, so good :D

That is great to hear. I got off of my inflammatory meds when I was pregnant with my daughter who is 21 months and never got back on. I have a high pain tolerance I hadn't felt the need to start them back. Thank you so much for your response!

I have Lupus. I'm set to have the surgery in Mexico on July 2nd. It's really good to hear that you are doing so well, jlobyxmas! And please be sure to keep us posted, 02Bskinny! You're so close to your big day and I'm sending my best wishes that you sail right through this. :wub:

I'm lucky insofar as I don't have too much pain, but I do have a raging malar rash, and lots and lots of fatigue. I'm planning to stay extra days at the hotel just in case I'm too weak to travel, have a flare or get an infection. But ultimately, I really believe losing a hundred pounds can't help but make me feel a lot better, so I'm super-excited! :D

Thank you for the best wishes. It's hard to believe my surgery is in two days!

I'm a 32yrs old female with lupus schedule for sleeve in August. How did anyone do with lupus after surgery?

I don't have lupus but I have ms and fibro. I feel great. Down 65lbs in 3 1/2 months.

Biggest thing is make sure you take the Vitamins every day. B12 is a absolute must.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
