    I assume you mean scuba? I have been told that it's not a problem and dove 5 days in a row without a hint of a problem.

    I would use scuba gear for this, as the lapband isn't really going to provide you with much oxygen.

    But, I think it would also depend on how deep you go.

    Of course maybe you are referring to dive, as in diving off a board....in this case, yes, if you could before, you can now.
