Gastric sleeve and rheumatoid arthritis

[CNCAnn 7]

I’m scheduled to have a sleeve in August and have RA, which is an autoimmune disease. I’m just curious if anyone with RA has had any complications or healing issues? I’m 52 y/o. 5ft 7in. 235lbs. I’m confident in my decision to have this procedure and having it at BariatricPal MX, I’m just nervous about being off my RA meds and having a compromised immune system.

Hi, no need to worry. Our cardiologist and internal medicine specialists will be watching you. We have had several patients with RA with great success!!
