When the gastric sleeve operation is performed, about 80% of the stomach is removed.
This includes the part where the ghrelin hormone is produced.
I am 11 weeks out, and have still no hunger sensation, but that was to be expected.
My question though: when almost all of the hormone producing stomach is removed, does the remaining part, the sleeve, eventually take over this production?
Or is this loss of feeling hunger more or less permanent?
I hope for the latter, but I really haven't got a clue.
Any veterans out here, who can answer this question from their own experience?
I'm not talking about head hunger here, but genuine stomach hunger.
