I was watching a video last night about a gentleman recovering from VSG surgery. He mentioned that because they remove the portion of the stomach in a VSG where the "hunger switch" is located, he is never hungry. I know this is often true as I have friends who have had a VSG with the same results. However, he also said, and this is the part I am questioning, that in a RNYGB your hunger remains the same (relatively speaking). I know the basic mechanics of both surgery and know in a RNYGB they leave the rest of the stomach in place after they separate the pouch. My question is; do hunger cravings remain the same after Gastric Bypass as this gentleman claims. I have never heard this before.
Yes I also know that after time, many of the pre-surgery cravings can return, but from what I have read, that is true of any weight loss surgery.
