Can bariatric surgery be reversed?

Reversal of LAP-BAND® System surgery is relatively easy and requires a secondary laparoscopic surgery procedure to simply remove the band. However, although gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy procedures may be revised for some patients, they cannot be fully reversed since they involve permanent changes to the stomach and/or intestinal tract.
