Hello all!!

I have scheduled a plastic surgery, and of course i will do whatever my lapband surgeon recommends, but i was just wondering if anyone had experience with this. Do i need to be loosened prior to surgery? I love the level that im at, i think ive finally reached my sweet spot. The plastic surgeon specializes in post weight loss plastic surgery and said that hes never recommended to loosen the band and that his patients never had a problem. I have an appointment with my band surgeon and will ask him,, but has anyone had surgery without being loosened?

Thanks!

It really depends. Some want the band unfilled and some don't unfill it all. You will have to ask your surgeon what his specific protocol is.
