For me it does not control my hunger as much as I would like. I go about 2 to 2.5 hours if I am lucky before feeling hungry again. But when I eat, I am satisfied on the smaller portions that I am supposed to be eating.

The few times that it did control my hunger for 4 hour stretches I was too tight and had to go in for an unfill.

It has never controlled my hunger just the amount it takes me to get satisfied. Some people never lose the hunger others do it all depends on you as an individual.

why are you disappointed? Even though it doesn't control my hunger as much as I would like I couldn't be happier with my band. One thing I learned is a really hate being hungry!!! That's what got me so big in the first place, I never let that happen! But I try and follow the rules 90% of the time and have been successful.

Well I can say this. I have learned to welcome hunger because I went almost 35 years and never knew what hungry was because I ate so much I never felt hungry. The first time my stomach growled I almost had a heart attack lmao

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
