I was one of the unlucky few that experienced hunger from early on. Reading the boards, I gathered it was just acid. After taking 3 different types of acid medications, I ruled out acid. My appetite is still smaller so I'm content with the hunger I guess.

I thought the hunger hormone was gone as well. I guess it depends as my mother-in-law had surgery three weeks after me and has no hunger at all. The acid reducers do not help whatsoever with hunger unfortunately. :(

Hunger and acid are very easily confused. If you are feeling hunger it is more than worth trying different acid controllers.

I did not lose my hunger after the surgery. However, it turns out I was also having major acid problems the whole time - it was a combination. I've been taking prescription Prevacid three times per day, thinking that it kept the acid under control. WRONG. Switched to Nexium and the hunger is not nearly as bad - not that it is gone.

Also, if you are having hunger for specific things, that is probably head hunger. If you are hungry for something sweet, or salty... it's at least partly just a craving not true hunger. True hunger can be satisfied with anything - plain chicken breast works very well.

I never thought that it could be acid related , I was starting to feel so guilty for feeling hungry , I have been really careful about the things that I eat but I don't want my weight loss to slow down. Thank you for the support

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
