Ghrelin article

I came across this article on the InterWeb and the ghrelin levels in people who had gastric bypasses were very diminished. I think a sleeved person will have a similar level as we have the part of the op that removes the fundus area.

NEJM -- Plasma Ghrelin Levels after Diet-Induced Weight Loss or Gastric Bypass Surgery

There are some tremendous graphs and the weight loss figures are inspiring. :thumbup:

    Having had a gastric Bypass, I can attest to the fact that MY appetite has DRAMATICALLY decreased. That, combined with feeling full very, very quickly has been wonderful. It's great to not constantly be thinking about what i'm going to eat next...... :thumbup:
