Philidelphia Eagles Player has lap-band surgery
According to my doc, no! I actually asked about this and he told me that one of his patients is a keen amateur boxer and another plays rugby (a bit like NFL but without any padding!!).
He said it might be more painful if someone wa**** directly on the port but there would be no more actual damage than such a hit would cause to an non-banded person.
