Truthfully does the lapband REALLY make you feel less hungry?

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
