Can the REALIZE Band be removed?

The REALIZE Band is intended for long-term use. Because adjustable gastric banding surgery does not permanently change the anatomy of the stomach and intestines, the REALIZE Band can be removed if necessary. However, please keep in mind that reversal surgery is not simple, and weight gain is usually observed in people who have the band removed and who do not continue a healthy eating regimen.
