When people with severe obesity undergo bypass surgery that seals off part of the stomach, the remaining stomach then produces much less?

The remaining stomach then produces much less ghrelin.
Ghrelin is a medical term for 'hunger hormone,' the hormone responsible for regulating appetite. So, people who have had certain parts of their stomach sealed off after a surgery will not experience the same levels of hunger they used to before the surgery.
