Bougie size?

[TooFluffy 32]

Just curious what size bougie your surgeon used. Mine used a 38 French. Is that average?

Mine used 32. But I'm 13 months out and can eat a good bit more now.

Makes no difference to me. It could be a fire hose.......I could care less....... only 3 ounces is fittin' in there anyway.

I was so worried about bougie size prior to surgery 3 months ago, almost to the point i was going to use a different Dr. because he was using a bougie size 42f. But I ended doing my sleeve with him. And im happy I did, no problems and weight loss is great!

I agree..don't get wrapped up with this. Your dr will do what is best for u.

Mine used a 36 and weight loss is going well. I don't think it matters too much really cause the difference might be a bite or two. see the difference in the pic? This pic is what made me stop obsessing about it lol

I'm still pre op but I posed this question to my surgeon. He said the larger the bougie size the less chance of having a stricture.

Mine was 38, no problems here

No problems with mine, either! I was just curious how it compared.
