Lap band and Travel insurance

We like to holiday around Europe a lot, and I usually get away on Business to the Far East once or twice a year. I normally declare a pre-existing heart condition and pay a premium for my travel insurance. What is the situation with a band? Do you have to declare it as a pre-existing “condition” in case of any emergency while away that is related to the band, and that would require a claim on the insurance?
