How do high temps effect lap-band?

I was just curious about working in high temperatures? I am starting a new job working in pot rooms at Alcoa metals (they manufacture aluminum) and the temps can reach as high as 130 degrees for long periods of time. I have not reached my green zone yet but feel I'm close with 7cc's in my 11cc realize band. I have a fill on Monday and I'm wondering if I should put it off? Any info would be appreciated.

I can only speak for myself, but for me hot temperatures don't have an effect on my band. However, cold temperatures seem to make it tighten up a bit.

I am with Mis. Temps have not affected me I have been banded for 4 years.

I have been banded since 2008 and atmospheric temperatures do not make a difference to me one way or the other. The time of day does, however, I'm tighter in the morning than later in the day. Who knows why, but it works!
