I remember seeing someone post a picture of the Boogie (hopefully i spelled this right) sizes used when doing the sleeve but I can't seem to find that picture.

Does anyone have a picture of the differnt sizes ??

I keep seeing that term used, Boogie (sp?). What is it?

A bougie is what the doctors use to determine the size of your sleeve. Many compare the sizes to a marker, pencil, pen, etc. I believe 32 is the smallest and 42 may be the largest

yes that is what i have read, and i finally asked my surgeon what size he used and he said 34 french... well now i wanna see the photo that compares it to the size of a pen or marker or highlighter lol....

I saw something yesterday I think on obesityhelp.com. If I find it I will send it to you. It was very informative. I will add you as a friend so I won't forget.

I found this one under google images. these are some of the sizes and u can see the actual diameter of each. My doc used a 36fr.

so now i dont have boogies in just my nose anymore! lol j/k
