Can reflexology disturb the lap band?

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knew about reflexology (pressure points located on feet that correspond with organs in our body). I'd like to get this massage done for stress and other ailments I have such as sinusitis, but there's a point on the foot that is for the stomach, and since I have a lap band I'm curious to know about going through with it or now. Will consult with surgeon and reflexologist beforehand of course, but one of you may know!

Thanks in advanced,

Jackie

    I've never seen it be a problem. As a retired DC I have been exposed to a wide variety of therapy both as provider and as patient. I have never read on LBT of any forum member reporting a Band issue resulting from such.

    Thanks,
