ruthie:

have you had any surgery with your lapband?

My suggestion would be to get a complete unfill because when they put in your IV and pump you up full of fluids for the surgery you will retain Water everywhere, including where your lapband is implanted.

Talk to your lapband doctor they know best.

I can't comment on the C Section as when I had mine I wasn't banded. I did however have a hysterectomy 2 years ago and didn't get unfilled for that. i didn't have any issues.

I am having a c- section tomorrow (apr 26). I have not been instructed to have a full defill. Good luck

I've never had a c/s so Im not quite sure of the answer. Your best bet is to ask your surgeon and talk with your OB.

Good luck!

Your surgeon knows best! I would schedule a consult! Good luck
