Small Pouch For Me

There is absolutely NO WAY on God's green earth that I'd let a surgeon use a 60fr on me, no way no how. . . and I'd never get a band that's just dangerous. Sorry, I just have a strong personal opinion on the band, and it's ridiculous to add on when he could just make the sleeve to the standardized size of a 32fr to 40fr. If he uses a 60fr, your fundus won't be fully dissected, and stretching and hunger are almost a guarantee for you.

Personally, I'd get a new surgeon. You can really trust that he'll give you what you want once you are put under anesthesia. Putting the band around the sleeve is a completely outdated, and absurd practice that has been heavily advised against.

Here's the link on the study on smaller bougies.
