You will be required to lose some weight before surgery. Lapband surgery is quite a process and adding lipo does not sound like a reasonable addition. There's just no easy, fast way to first get "weight relief" instantly.

I think the lapband procedure may be a little complicated; however, i do not think it is anymore complicated then the gastric bypass surgery. The lapband procedure seems like a simple way to stop you from overeating all the time.

Lapband is effective because it actually shrinks the stomach. A person will feel fuller much quicker after having this surgery done. It is done to help a person lose weight.
No. In order to develop lupus you have to have the right combination of genes plus triggers. The stress of surgery could trigger lupus in a person who is genetically predisposed, but not in a person who is not genetically predisposed.
LapBand surgery (which is a brand) costs between $12,000 and $25,000 depending on where you live. The cost of the procedure will reflect the cost of living in your area. The LapBand website has a surgeon locator: http://www.lapband.com/en/lapband_is_for_you/find_a_surgeon/
There is gastric bypass which is more dramatic. There are also less dramatic surgeries such as the Lapband.
Science has identified some genes that appear to be related to the inheritance of lupus and autoimmunity. Having these genes only predisposes the patient to the disease however, it does not mean the patient will ever get lupus.
