Can a gastric band be removed without surgery? I am considering endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty

Could a gastric band be removed from the throughout or it requires a surgery ? I didn't like it as all is does is chocking no matter how loose or tight it is or how slow eater I am, so I avoid eating and I ended up feeling tired and not being able to socialize as I can struggle on the table or feel uncomfortable. I am considering Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and would appreciate any recommendations near Atlanta. Thank you :)
