Have you had chemo after banding?

If so please share your story.

I may be undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer and need to know if you had your band emptied and how you faired with the imminent nausia that follows.

Thanks in advance.

While I have not had to have chemo yet, I did get banded with stage 0 CLL and will eventually have to have chemo and a bone marrow transplant. The LAP-BAND^® is the only wls that my oncologist would approve because then she said I could be unfilled during chemo to get adequate nutrition.

You are in my prayers!
