The gastric band will help you to eat much less and also feel full quicker, working in two ways; firstly by reducing the capacity of your stomach and second by increasing the time it takes food to travel through your digestive system. For example, after a small meal, you should feel full. If you follow the nutritional guidelines when choosing your food and you chew it well, you should not feel hungry or deprived. Remember that the gastric band should be regarded as a tool to help you change your eating habits and your relationship with food.
