Question:
In AGB and VBG, does the larger part of the stomach ever feel hungry?
If I understand correctly, the Adjustable Gastric Band or the Vertical Banded Gastroplasty are types of surgery that are restricive only (not malabsorption), and the pouch is still attached to the remainder of the stomach. My question is, why doesn't the remainder of the stomach ever feel hungry? If it does feel hungry, then how does one deal with that hunger? — Amy N. (posted on September 30, 2002)

You can feel hunger with any type of WLS. The surgery is not a guarantee
against hunger. The hunger I feel though, is quickly controlled and is
usually more head hunger than actual hunger. Or it is thirst.

Thank you BJ and Cathy J. Your responses were the answers I was looking
for.
