Waist trainers

I See that waist trainers are very popular now. I was wondering how and if it worked with lapband. My port is noticeable so I don't think it would be a good idea for me. I really want try the waist trainer but I don't want to screw up my band. Do you are anyone you know with a band use a waist trainer?

    @@kbush maybe you can just check with your surgeon? i know when i have a pair of pants that cut into my stomach where my port is, or when i hit it on my desk at work, its pretty sore. i cant imagine having the constant restriction feels very good.
