It works like this. When you are "banded" you have the band around the upper part of your stomach.

When you have a fill, your band will tighten, and when you eat, the food takes longer to get through the band. It keeps the food in the upper part of the stomach, keeping you full for longer, on a much smaller portion.

I don't feel the uncontrollable hunger that I once did, but I do get hungry. But it is a totally different sensation now.
