Pros vs Cons of emptying band

For those of you that got band removed and had VSG all at the same time... a) did you get your band completely emptied?? B) If you didnt did this effect your healing and if you did what benefit does it have?? c) if you had it emptied- did you obsess about gaining too much weight back-

I see benefits to both....

    My doc said it was a must. I'm sure it's got to be easier to remove if it's not tight on your stomach..
