I have been diagnosed abt 2 yrs now w Celiac Disease which is a gluten intolerance. I was wondering if anyone out there has also been banded with this disease? I know of only 1 other person! My dr never did surgery of any kind on any patient with this disease so I was just worried. If there is anyone out there please let me know- thanks!! HAppy Holidays!!:help:

My father has celiac disease and I really dont see how having a band would effect it? If anything it would help because you may have a hard time sneaking some bread that you shouldnt have anyway.

Unless you are consuming gluten why would it affect your band at all? What specifically are you worried about?
