I hear what you're saying, Sage, but I also know that when I'm upset and wanting to binge, I can keep stuffing food in long after my stomach sends me the "full" signal. I used to eat so much I would literally make myself sick. I assume it would be the same way even after the lap band surgery if I weren't addressing the emotional causes of my eating.
