Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, after an individual undergoes gastric bypass surgery many different metabolic hormones become affected by the surgery. Such hormones include Gherlin, Leptin, Gastrin, and Insulin, all of which can affect the individual's hunger, appetite, and satiety cues. This is mainly because the surgery greatly shrinks the amount of food that an individual can eat at any given time. Since it basically shrinks the stomach by creating a small pouch where food enters and goes straight into the intestinal track it gives the individual the feeling of being full with much less food.
