If you search hunger pains in that forum all kinds of things come up. I think overall most have reduced hunger, some have more, some less. Steve said it exactly above. I guess what bothers me about it is... The people that give me the hardest time ( on a couple occasions), obviously have the SLEEVE, not the plication. So is it fair to say that maybe I've done more research then them on MY choice of wls? Or that's not even what bothers me the most. It's when they make false statements about the plication out of ignorance to scare someone out of looking into it. There isint as much research out there I spose, of the plication than the sleeve. But there are risks of the sleeve too. And it was new once too right? Can you imagine if in the beginning of the sleeve everyone was like "oh don't do it you will get a leak", and everybody listened? No one got the sleeve? Ugh I know I'm rambling I'm just frustrated... The thread was something like sleeve or plication... Scared. Anyway I'm over it I'm just gonna stay off there for awhile. I am just thankful there is something available for someone like me with a low bmi besides the lapband, even if it is newer.

Bos123 was right on the mark...sleevers still get hunger pains...just not as much! If they didn't, why have WLS at all???? Just take out the ghrelin hormone gland and be done with it! No, you still have to make smart choices and change your eating habits! WLS is simply another tool to help you get down to a better and healthier weight...and then maintain it! Hope this helps!
