My wife and I are going on a cruise in October and we've scheduled a couples massage for one of the days at sea. We've done it before and always look forward to it, since it is so relaxing. Now that I have the band, is there anything I have to worry about or should I just tell the masseuse to avoid the spot where the port is located?

I just got back from a cruise and a massage...my first!

I just jotted down on the paper that I'd had bariatric surgery. I had the full body massage and nothing bad happened. I'm almost at a year, though...You may want try out laying on your tummy to see if there is any discomfort before you go. Or ask the doc...?

I think it would only be a problem if they massaged your stomach, and I've never had a therapist try to.

Have fun!!
