Does appetite come back?

I'm a little over a week post-op (sleeve) and I'm finding that in general I'm not that hungry. Yay, right? This is one of the changes I was really hoping for, that with the removal of stomach tissue and the ghrelin it produces that ever present voice of hunger would quiet down. So now that I'm experiencing it I'm wondering if it will last. So those of you who are several months or more out, did your appetite comeback? When? And by how much?

I'm 3 year out, and my appetite is back with a vengeance. It really started coming back around 2 years, and has slowly increased. Enjoy your honeymoon period, because it definitely doesn't last!
