Hello everyone!

I am hopefully going to do the lapband (yay!)

but i am wondering about the "full" feeling after eating. The doctor who i met with has said that the feeling of fullness will not be what i'm used to, and i won't feel it where i'm used to feeling it.

Can someone please fill me in as to how this will feel? is this new fullness a sensation that i'll have to get used to? Will i never feel satisfied like i'm used to?

Thanks in advance for all input

P.S.

If this has been discussed elsewhere please post the link, i just didnt see it discussed

For me it feels kinda like when you are swallowing a large pill and it doesn't quite go all the way down. Not in stomach so much as in your chest. After I feel that I stop eating and 10 minutes later I am completely satisfied. I am a newbie but that's what I have noticed.

My full feeling is exactly the same as before, it just happens way sooner.

Two things - when i feel that just swallowed a large pill feeling, ive overeaten! And i agree waiting till youre really hungry to eat can make eating difficult - you eat fast and are likely to get stuck, and hunger causes me to get acidy and a bit refluxy and then food hurts and burns on the way down. My band also seems a lot more sensitive if im really hu gry, almost like it clamps down on whatever i swallow, which causes discomfort if not vomiting
