I found out why I can eat more than most after sleeve surgery. I had a # 56 bougie used due to lower esophageal stricture. It's about one and a half times the size of what most of you had. Holds around 6 ounces. Lost ;7 lbs total including preop. Was sleeved 10/10/12.

Wow. I'd want my money back.

Wait a minute...are you say that you lost 7 pounds total ??

Sounds like your surgeon did what he had to do due to your bodies condition. You will still be able to lose weight probably just not as fast as others. Remember you don't have to eat until you get the full feeling you can measure your quantities and you should still have the decrease in Grehlin making you not as hungry. Good Luck.

I think it's a typo .. Amy I like your new picture!!!

Oh thank God! I was beginning to worry:/

You are so sweet to worry about me. With it so large, enough to hold 6 oz initially, I have had no nausea, vomiting or any problems at all !
