Lap band and Crohn's Disease

by Amanda S
(Walton, KY )

I am 247lbs and 5'3" and only 29. Was DX with crohn's disease in the summer of 2005. I havent been on meds in the last 3 years or ever had to take steroids. I am considering weight loss surgery, and really want the lap band. Has anyone had the lap band with Crohn's disease??

Thanks
Amanda
