Boughie size comparison

[swizzly 901]

I've no idea what size mine is! They never said, they just said it's about the size of a man's finger or a woman's thumb. All I know is, it is definitely small. I don't know the capacity, but it's not much!

My Dr. uses a 40 french and oversews the staple line. He said he felt that size was the best balance between restriction and preventing strictures.

I just don't get how I can eat a 1/2 chicken breast when I have a size 32! But I can and everything works! Makes me doubly happy to have the rest of my giant stretchy stomach outta there and no longer controlling me!!!

I thought I heard my Dr wrong when he said I would get a size 38 French. I am conflicted - is this good or bad?!?! I will be able to eat more than a typical 32 bougie but will I be hungry?!? Will I feel full? Will I not lose as well? Hmmm.. just things to think about I guess.
