This technique is completely reversible, which is a fundamental aspect for potential patients. Although the Lapband is not meant to be removed, it can be at any time. If, owing to unforeseen circumstances, the Lapband needs to be removed, the stomach will return to its original form. Thus the integrity of the stomach is preserved.

The final important advantage is a progressive, long-term weight loss without the symptoms of yo-yo dieting, in which case sudden and drastic changes in weight during diets pose serious cardiovascular risks.
