I am set to get banded on June 28 and I was wondering about scuba after the op. As anyone gone diving since haveing the band? Did you feel anything wrong? I know I got to wait for everything to heal I am just wondering about the diff pressures and bar level. I thank you for all the help.

I was banded in December and went diving in February. Coz @ 90 - 100 was just fine. No problems what so ever! Dont drink the beer though! OMG I forgot not to and got so sick! But the diving was great! Actually my physician said that there would not be problems because the band is fluid filled and scuba affects airfilled places.

I've been diving a number of times since I was banded, and I've never had a problem. Travel in general (stress, flying) gets me a little, but only for a day or so, I just get a bit tight. My surgeon's office said it wouldn't be a problem.

Wheetsin is a diver as well, and I know there is at least one other thread around here about it. you might want to try a search for a thread titile that has scube in it, or at the bottom of this thread, it might show up as a similar thread.
