I'm not sure how I came across the subject, but I found a site where this surgeon came up with a way to test the pouch size of patients after gastric bypass. I figured that this particular test should work just as well for sleevers and, after a little more online research, I found that sleevers HAVE used the same test!!! So, I gave it a try. Here's how it works:
The Cottage cheese Test
At one year out, my sleeve is holding almost 7 ounces.
I was also reading that this same test can be done using egg salad if you can't stand cottage cheese. Just be sure to cut the eggs up into pieces similar in size to cottage cheese curds.
Anyway...just wanted to post this since SO MANY people here ask about sleeve size on a daily basis!!
Hope this helps!!
