I know every surgeon has different instructions. Mine is no tanning for 3 months after being banded.

I ran alot an ask the surgeon before I even got banded an it doesn't the only thing is they suggest wait abou 3 weeks after surgery . Due to the sutures may cause more scarring or something to that effect, hope this helped us tanners some

Having witnessed a very good friend go through a year of chemotherapy as a result of melanoma and my beloved husband need plastic surgery to repair the hole in the side of his nose due to basal cell skin cancer, I think you are CRAZY to go tanning.

JMO, but not something I'd want to see anyone else experience.

You were banded to make yourself healthier...I just don't understand the irony.

My daughter is a radiation therapist and treats many skin cancer and melanoma patients.. tanning beds should be outlawed... We also lost a daughter to melanoma .. she spent her teenage years tanning.. if you want to look tan, just use the cream or spray.. I doubt the tanning bed would effect the band but it is very dangerous to your health in the future. looking good for now can't be worth the risk to me...

"Tanning is skin cells in trauma"

Better off aiming for that milky white skin, it's far healthier.

Remember.

Slip, slop,slap,seek shade.
