What I hope will be the final answer to this issue:
1) Sleeve size doesn't matter that much with the DS, UNLESS it's too small or has a stricture - then it's misery. THEY ALL STRETCH OUT EVENTUALLY.
2) It's not the size of the sleeve that determines whether you are hungry or not - and I cannot understand why, after all this time, and having been sleeved already for several years, you don't know that. The size of the sleeve determines HOW MUCH you can eat at one time, not whether you get hunger pangs. Once you put SOME food in your stomach, no matter what the size, actual and real hunger pangs go away.
3) Your perceived "hunger" is head hunger, acid stomach, or dehydration - or you are one of those who, when nauseated, feels the need to "put something on your stomach."
4) When you are healed, you will learn that DSers get EXTREMELY hungry, frequently. It doesn't take much to stave it off, but the ghrelin-fueled hunger is not that kind of hunger anyway - it is the gnawing uneasy feeling that you want to eat, even if you aren't sure what you want to eat, and you aren't ACTUALLY hungry, but that it is the only thing you can think about UNLESS you're thinking about something else kind of hunger. It is a biological URGE, and not an actual feeling of hunger.
Deal with it. Move on. Quit obsessing about something that is neither important or even relevant. And stop looking for someone to blame for what is primarily a problem in your own head.
