Gastric bypass surgery cannot be easily reversed. LAP-BAND/REALIZE Band surgery, however, is more easily reversible. If necessary, you may undergo surgery to remove, replace, or alter the band. Please understand that reversal of any bariatric procedure would mean regaining the weight that you have lost. Bariatric surgery is meant to be a lifelong commitment.
