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 ??

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

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.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
