Waldenstrom's and Lap Band Surgery

By JaffreyChick

· 347 views

Hello, getting ready to have surgery on 8/20. I am a Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia patient with undetectable IgA, very low IgG, and normal IgM at the present time.

 

I am receiving IVIG treatments because of throat/chest infections in the spring.

 

Figured I would do the surgery while still getting some immunoglobulin help.

 

My oncologist asked if I was aware of anyone else who may have had lap band surgery and who also has WM.:thumbup:
