How much of your stomach was removed?

I know it is different for all doctors, some remove 70% and some remove all the way up to 90%...just curious how much your Dr will/has removed? I would ask what bougie size was used but I know nothing about those lol

For me it was 80%. My nutritionist said that my food volume is somewhere around 1//3 cup plus two tablespoons, and that is pretty much where my tupperware burp kicks in.

Mine used a 36 boogie, I had 90% of my stomach removed, When I watched the video if my surgery and live leak test it looked like a long sharpie.

Bougie is a 32, approx 85% was removed.

I believe mine was 75%, maybe be more. I have a lot more restriction than I thought. Could be swelling or more removed than I thought as well.
