And to the op the difference between all the sizes here and your 38 are minimal!

If you are happy and confident in your surgeon of choice, that's all that really matters..

It's just a guide.. But some think it makes a big difference in the stomach size afterwards.. Like I said to the op the differences are very small and every doctor doesn't sew the same, some sew it "looser" some tighter... Also you don't want to go to small that really gives you a bigger chance for complications ( leaks, gerd)

Our stomachs are all different sizes and lengths so no two will be alike.

Your surgeon knows what he or she is doing

Oh! Lol well you won't feel it because you will be knocked out.

Just like the catheter I had and didn't know about until a nurse mentioned it afterwards
