Can I Remove Lapband and Abdominalplasty at Same Time? (photo)

Hi I would like my lap band removed the same time as my abdominalplasty. One surgeon said yesterday that he could find a bariatric surgeon to accompany him and they could do it together but the cost would be double for 2surgeons. But I have found a bariatric surgeon who also specialises in abdominalplasty. I have a consultation next week. How do they remove the band? Via abdo wall or key hole? Thanks
