Chemotherapy and the Lap Band
I have not seen this topic posted yet on this board even though I may have missed it. Well, I was diagnosed with pelvis cancer and will be needing chemotherapy. They put a port in your chest for the chemo and I was wondering if this would cause any problems with the lap band. I just called my Lap Band doctor to ask about this and am waiting for a call back. I was hoping that maybe someone here has already dealt with this and can help me out.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Maureen
Ahhhhh Maureen.......(((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))) !!!!
I don't have a clue about the effects of chemo on the band but just want you to know that you'll be in my prayers sweetie pie! ...... I understand that protein loading for even "non-wls" folks who go through chemo is very beneficial....maybe something you could start right away!
Let us know how we can help.....I make a great pot of chicken soup
