    was wondering if anyone had experience with the lapband and lupus? I had a lapband placed 2.5 years ago and did very welll with it. I lost 100lbs. In April I got really sick and in June I was diagnosed with lupus. My stomache swelled up and I couldnt eat so I had to have my band completely unfilled. My bariatric surgeon says the band has to be removed and I could revise to another surgery. I really am sad about it, I have gained 22 lbs since I believe that a lot of the gain is from the prednisone 40mgs and my face looks like a balloon!!! I feel like such a failure and all my hard work is going down the drain :(

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
