Hello! I am new to this specific forum and joined because I have never heard of Sleeve Plication and have been looking at WLS for over 3 years now. I have been leaning towards the Gastric Sleeve, but I have a specific question regarding the Sleeve and Sleeve Plication. Aside from the obvious medical difference between the Sleeve and Gastric Bypass, I loved the idea of the Sleeve becuase it would remove the part of my stomach that triggered hunger. I tend to eat too much because I always feel hungry. Does the Plication Surgery help you to not feel hungry? I wonder because if that part is not removed, I fear I may over eat again and wind up back at square one. Can anybody tell me if you feel more hunger with one surgery over the other? I hope I don't sound too confused! And I appreciate any comments of anyone willing to reply.
Thank you!
