I'm currently VBG, hate it, and am considering revision surgery in a year or so ( I'll be self-pay). I experience hunger all of the time and never feel satisifed. If I overeat, which may be two - three bites of protein, I will have crushing pain in my chest which is partially alleviated by throwing up. I've been looking at the pros and cons of DS vs. RNY. My biggest concern is saiety. I find myself now grazing and constantly looking for something to satisfy my hunger. Do most of you DS'rs find you feel " satisfied " ? Thanks for your input.
