Good luck.  Gosh I love giveaways.

I was diagnosed with SLE in 2004.  I chose to have gastric bypass because I did not feel comfortable having a band...a foreign object, essentially...place into my body.  I was afraid it would be more prone to make the lupus flare.

I had the gastric bypass Dec. 30th, 2008.  Thankfully, I breezed through the surgery.  I healed fast and have had no problems, whatsoever.  I am so thankful.

My skin and joints were what was primarily afffected by the lupus.  I had to have both knees replaced when I was 38 years old.  As I was not looking forward to a probable hip replacement if I did not lose weight, the RNY was worth the risk to me.  I'm so glad I went for it!

The only lupus medication I am having to take at present is the plaquenil.  The only thing that worries me is that I cannot take antiinflammatories ever again.  I'm not quite sure what will happen if I have severe inflammation, again. 

But my RNY surgeon had no qualms about doing this procedure on me.  Also, he seemed open to the idea of the lapband if that is what I had decided to do.  Hope this helps someone out there!
