Im going to my first meeting on the Lap Band and wonder if my psoriatic arthritis and Enbrel use will keep me from being able to get the Lap Band?? Any others out there have the same health issue??

Just to update, talked to the Dr. and no problem with Enbrel just stay off it for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after! Maybe this will work out, praying for good news

I have arthritis in my knees, spinal stenosis (arthritis of the spine), and had back surgery in 2004. I was banded in June 2009. I now walk 3 miles every morning. Couldn't do that before banding and weight loss. I love my band!
