I was born in Ireland and moved to Canada some years ago. Have recently been diagnosed with Hemochromatosis as have some family members. Since Ireland apparently has the highest ratio of its population with this disorder, are there any persons out there who have this disorder and have had lapband as well. The protein is an important component for successful weight lossus lapbanders, but am wondering if anyone has experienced greater hemo problems because of it. I have been banded for 2 years. Thanks so much!
