This question is geared to those who have been banded at least a year and preferably much more. Something I don't see much of are long-term bansters and their experience.
After reaching a 'sweet spot', do you ever get to a point where you dont feel like youre deprived of food? Are you able to eat or 'taste'? Does eating become more of a task/chore? Or do you feel like you're always focused on what/how you eat and it never becomes second nature?
Also, does it eventually kill your hunger?
