Discoid Lupus ? ? ?

I was recently diagnosed with Discoid Lupus.  Can anyone tell me how this is affected by WLS?  ANY info. you can share with me about this would be appreciated!

Thanks!

It shouldn't.  It might affect the oral medications you may take for it.

Gracie,
I wish I could be of more help.  What I know about Discoid Lupus is that it primarily affects the skin.  I don't see any obvious reason why that may have a negative effect on WL surgery.  I have Systemic Lupus and am considering WLS and from many on this site, have been steered away from the LapBand and toward the Vertical Gastric Sleeve.  What procedure were you thinking of having?
