I am not very much sure about the risk after being asthma patient. you can sure ask to your doctor about this. he will tell you in a fine way. and th insurance company allow for this surgery after being asthmatic.
Answer 2 you know with the uncontrolled asthma there is high risk in any surgery. different surgery has different percentages of risk. but if you have controlled asthma then it might be possible of less risk. in lap band surgery also if you do some mistake then only you can face risk. patients have asthma like lung disease mimicking asthma acid reflux you need to measure pulmonary function tests measure and monitor peak flows and stabilize these numbers and all symptoms via medication and other therapy. all these should be correctly managed. if you control your asthma then surgery can be done in a very good manner.
you can go for lap band surgery after a good care.
For any more info feel free to email me. Good luck
Answer 3
Before surgery you gone out through many testes to decide whether you are eligible for this surgery or not.if she has controlled asthma then she should have no problem. i also had many health issue but i had gone for lap band surgery and this was my best decision so far. i have no problem and i am happy with my healthy life. i took insulin four times a day and now i am back on oral medications. these are good for me.
so go without having any second thought. but take decision after meeting with doctors.
good luck bye.
