Dr. Aceves technique



Recommended Posts

Hi wareagle,

What are you asking? About the oversewing or the bougie sizes?

I guess I was asking both. But I spoke to my facilitator and she explained what the bouge was and said she didn't know for sure what size he used but she was pretty sure the stitching was 32. She forwarded to the dr to respond. I had just not heard anyone mention either one of those and I have been researching for months.

what is the normal size of bungie do they use??

I just email from Dr. Rod and he also uses the 32in bougie oversewn. someone asked above if that meant your stomach was smaller that 32in. He said no it is 32in.

I think 32 is pretty common. Search for bougie and you will come up with alot of discussion. I'm kind of a newbie to all of this.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
