Jinjin 21 Posted July 6, 2011 Hey all just wondering what bougie did your Dr use? Are you happy with it? Any complications? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ldydrgnkpr 49 Posted July 6, 2011 My surgeon used a 40 fr bougie over sewn. Very happy, great restriction. Only able to eat 2-3 ounces at a time. No complaints at all. Deb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jinjin 21 Posted July 7, 2011 Mine used a 40 also. 9 days post op and so far so good : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyL 173 Posted July 7, 2011 My dr uses a 34fr over sewn. I had no problems getting liquid in immediately (after leak test of course). No pain when swallowing. And I have great restriction on dense Protein now. I am very happy with my sleeve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashleyc 10 Posted July 7, 2011 My Dr doesn't use a bougie but what he uses is the same size as 34FR Surgery on Friday!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lunarose 97 Posted July 7, 2011 Mine uses 40fr and I have heard that Kaiser uses 40 exclusively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lsereno 2,525 Posted July 7, 2011 I'm was sleeved at Kaiser Fremont on 5/17 by Dr. Hahn. He used a 40 and oversewed the staple line. At 7 weeks out, I have restriction on solid Protein of about 1/4 cup. I can eat 1/2 cup of Soup or yogurt. I cannot gulp drinks, even Water. Lynda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
