I'm 3 weeks post op, and enjoying not being hungry all the time like I used to be. Just curious how long it took for your hunger nerve to grow back and actually feel real hunger again?

Really? Did your surgeon tell you he did this?

The vagus nerve is usually left fully intact with VSG surgery.

Yep, he told me he was cutting the nerve but that it would grow back/regenerate within a few months and that is typically when my hunger pangs would start to return

I find this interesting.., like I said typically the nerve is left intact. But with VSG the fundus is taken out which is the main producer of ghrelin

(Hunger hormone) Though the fundus is the main producer of this hormone other parts of the body produce it too and it will even out (become greater) after time because the other producers of it will kick up production....

All in about the same time (months to a year)

I did read some experimental stuff about the vagus nerve but... I've not heard of a doctor doing the procedure on a sleeve patient.
