Is M.S. considered a co-morbidy?

I am going threw the hoops to get the lap-band. Will having M.S. hurt or help my chances to get my insurance to pay? Any opinions?:sick

I would imagine it to be up to the individual, and the individuals Dr. My SIL has MS and her Dr. told her NO WAY!!! That the stress to the body would cause her to flare---and she has been free of problems since begining a new Interferon regime. I have a cousin with MS and she just had a different type of elective PS, and it wasn't an issue with her Dr. So it is hard to say---going to be up to your Dr. I would guess. Good Luck!

I have MS but I payed myself. I also take very good care of my health. I did have a flare up right after surgery due I think to the anesthesia, but a few days of rest and 4 days of Valium which is the drug that works for me to stop my symptoms...sometimes Klonopin... and good as new! I do everything natural!! Organic if possible. Good luck!
