Just found out that my surgeon used a 42fr bougie....and the restriction is pretty good!!!! Can't have anything over 3-4 ounces...

All of those male surgeons will tell you that size doesn't matter. ????????

Mine used a 40fr bougie. He said that's all he does now for all his patients.

Mine was a 32f. I had my surgery July 4th (one week tomorrow) and I've lost near 20 pounds (30 counting the one week Preop diet) and I can actually drink a lot more fluids than I thought. Mine was also oversewn. I know some people say it doesn't make a difference but to me it did. I paid out of pocket though I have insurance and bougie size played a part in my decision to self pay. I wanted the most restriction even if only as a placebo. I guess I will know more in a month or so. For me, it was either the smallest possible sleeve or go with bypass.

Started at 255 before Preop diet.

Mine is 38f but from the pics it looked like it was sticked really tight over the staple line so I think my restriction is more like a 34f
