Any banders out there with lupus? Have you had any problems?

I was diagnosised in June with mild Lupus, according to the doctor. I have not been on any medications for it as of yet and pray I never will. I get bloodwork done every 3 months to check my Lups levels. After being banded did you have any problems with your Lupus that may have been a direct result of the Lupus? Are you still losing weight or have lost your desired amount of weight. My doctors say I will be fine, and especially since I'm not even of medication for my Lupus, but I can't help wonder if getting banded will aggravate the Lupus. I get banded tommorrow and I'm been on my pre op diet since that Thursday and I'm starting to get weak, tired and achey. I'm not sure if it's from lack of food and my is freaking out or my Lupus flairing up? Any advice or personal experiences would be appreiciated. Thank you!
