Asked By:Dreadhead1 in Glasgow, GB

I have had my lap band deflated for surgery and have gained a few kilos. Is it safe for it to be inflated while I am having chemotherapy? Bearing in mind having steroids administered (Undesirable side effects of prednisone therapy include gastric or duodenal ulcers).
