Feelings of hunger???

I am slated for surgery next week(bypass). I am considering switching my procedure to the Verticle sleeve due to patients reporting very little feelings of hunger. I am totally healthy despite being over weight. So i am curious as to what bypass patients post op expierences are with the feelings of hunger???

 Thanks.

Hi,

With the MGB, hunger is a little different.  I may experience it but it doesn't stay around.  I rarely experience cravings.  The thing I have to watch is emotional hunger, head hunger and bored hunger.  You see, the surgery may take care of the "eating too much issue", but it doesn't deal with the mental issues associated with it.  So, therapy is always good and support groups are a must.  Hope this helps.
