Addi2009 reacted to 2bsmallagain in Staples And PricingDr. Alvarez has a utube video about the gastric sleeve stapler and he shows the instrument with the staples and shows it after stapling a piece of ham. It is very educational this might answer your questions.
This is the actual link. It was loaded in May of 2011 but it will help answer some of your questions.

My doctor in Sacramento used a size 40 on me. I understand the difference in a 32 to a 40 is very little. It also has to do with how close they follow the guide of the bougie. Some follow closer than others. In the end I don't think it really makes all that much difference. Here's a video from Dr. Alverez about it.
