Is it okay to SCUBA dive with a LapBand?

I have seen several responses that indicate that it is okay to SCUBA dive after a bypass operation but what about those of us who have had a LapBand (AGB) installed? Will the pressure underwater effect the stomach enough where it would allow the band to slip? Having said that, would the pressure force out any saline that might be in my reservoir?I pretty much fell asleeep in my high school physics class on the day they went over this subject. Thanks...
