Rainydayz 27 Posted August 1, 2011 Mine used a 40. I'm 4 weeks out and can barely eat 2 oz. of dense Protein. I did get reflux though so I'm taking a PPI and that has helped a lot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melissa71 0 Posted August 2, 2011 Newbie here. Are bougies like needle sizes? The larger the number the "smaller" the pouch? So 40 is smaller than a 32? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatherr 149 Posted August 2, 2011 NO, it's the opposite. The larger the number, the larger the pouch, but it's by milimeters and not much different between sizes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
