Have you tried olive oil and vinegar or lemon juice? I'm sure pretty much any restaurant would bring some out for you. It can be just as satisfying when you're craving that rich fatty element in your meal...and it's better for both the gut and the arteries! 
Wouldn't the fat in the olive oil, and the acidity in the vinegar cause a reaction problem additionally?
As for cocktail sauce, again, isn't that with the tomatoes, horesradish, a suspect food?
Thanks.

Cocktail sauce: Some people can tolerate cooked tomatoes. Some cannot at all. Others can tolerate it in small doses. I don't think a small amount is going to hurt you unless you are very sensitive to tomato sauces.
Olive oil & vinegar: Again, a small amount probably isn't going to hurt you.

I'm surprised a small amount of olive oil is not harmful because a tablespoon has 14 grams of fat, 100%, which is similar to mayonnaise content.

Some of it is the type of fat, some of it is individual tolerance. Personally, a tablespoon of olive oil would just about kill me, but I know there are people who can handle it just fine.
Olive oil would be marginally safer than butter simply because it's non-dairy. I would probably still avoid dipping lobster in it, but that's just me.

I use a Pampered Chef spray bottle and keep my olive oil in it. It provides a very light spray (much like Pam)and I use it for salad...cooking...whatever.
I am a stable "C". I don't know how olive oil affects others but felt that I should throw that in.

So if I go to the restaraunt with my own butter, what do I say so it's not awkward?

You have to say something, because you need the restaraunt to melt the butter once you arrive.
I plan on bringing my butter, but I would like to know, what do I say to the waitress, "I can't have regular butter, could you please microwave this?"
What do I say to my guests who I will be with, I want to enjoy my lobster because I am spending a lot of dough, at the same time, I want to have proper manners and not make a scene or draw attention.
Thanks.

how about just eating it with a little salt and pepper?
Can you eat something other than the lobster at the restaurant?

If possible I want to use butter, I tried salt and pepper the last time, and it simply was not the same.
Also lobster is one if not the most favorite dish of mine, since I can't eat a lot of things, it is one thing I really want to enjoy.
