I asked my doctor at my pre-op appointment (surgery Monday 10/19) if he could oversew the staple line for more restriction. He told me that I'll be very restricted with him using a 26 French bougie. I did some research and found that the bougie is what they place around the stomach to measure the size to staple shut, so the smaller the bougie the smaller the stomach. Which I'm very happy about! I've been reading a few other threads, but the smallest I've seen is a 32 bougie. I'm curious as to what bougie size everyone else is getting?

Have you been taking Biotin? If not, I suggest buying 5,000 mcg or higher. It will help with hair regrowth.

I pray you get better before surgery!!! Down some Emergen-C!!!! 2 more days for us 10/19 sleevers!!!!!!!

@@readyforthislifechange Thank you! Yes, there's a good handful of "veterans" on here that like to nitpick and point their fingers at "newbies" (as someone just called me). I'm in several Facebook groups where people admit to being afraid of asking questions like I'm asking for fear of these jerks doing what they're doing to me. Shame on you. I've also asked Alex to delete this thread multiple times because the assholes in this group have made such a mockery of it. Read back and look at the idiotic responses, quite embarrassing.

come join our FB group! I'd love to! I'm going to send you a message with my fb email! Thank you!!

3 more days for us 10/19 sleevers!!!

Classy. I've been following the sleeve threads for a few months now and noticed that YOU seem to have a problem with most people on this forum and only respond in a condescending tone, while ignoring the question asked. Again, my question was asking what size bougie you have. If you don't care about what I'm asking, why did you respond? I don't get it. You comment on so many threads that I read with irrelevant eye-rolling responses or you're either attacking someone in each thread. Just like you're doing now.

It always amuses me when someone asks a question on a PUBLIC message board and then gets bossy and rude about and to the people who took the time to answer. It always amuses me when someone asks a question on a PUBLIC message board and doesn't get their question answered.

I wasn't asking whether or not I should trust my surgeon. He does this day in and day out for many years at a center of excellence, and he is also the chief bariatric surgeon at the children's hospital. I wasn't asking for the "I don't care" response or for the "stomach size doesn't matter." So please, negative Nancy's, comment on someone else's thread. My question is simply what size bougie do you have and I've only gotten a couple of real responses.
