Any banders go to a chiropracter?

I need to go to a chiropractor again but I am really nervous about him pushing, popping and twisting me around for fear of band slippage, port pain (it is just below my sternum), or the tube getting disconnected. Anyone have sound advice about this?

I go to the Chiropactor regularly, no issues but to be safe let them know about the band.

Absolutely go! I never would have made it through the post surgery gas pains without good old Dr. Steve! If you are still healing from surgery don't have your lower back or hips adjusted. Just have him do your neck and mid-back. After you are fully healed lower back adjustments will be fine.

Thanks, I will make sure to let him know first, I just really need an adjustment! Even more now that I have lost a few pounds and my body is changing.

I go every now and again, because I have TMJ and upper back issues. Just make sure they know about your band and if they are uncomfortable you need to find someone that knows about the band. I could not live without my chiropractor now or ever and he is my savior, especially with my TMJ issues. I actually went through 5 people before I could find someone like Dr. Finch that knew his profession. It was hard when moving out here to Arizona to find a qualified chiropractor. He also has been very encouraging and supportive in my decision since he saw me at my highest weight and now at 90 pounds lost. Good luck and stay healthy.
