A friend in New York asked me why I would get the sleeve... "They're going to make your stomach look like a S-A-W-sage! After the surgery I mentioned this to the doctor. She said, "Heck no, it's more like a hot dog!"

I don't know but my Dr used a 38 French bougie which is suppose to be the size of a sharpie marker.

My dr advised me that in the end once all is healed it will hold about 6oz max . I can by no means have 6oz of anything at all yet and just mentally can't visualize that even being possible because I do good keeping 2oz down and that's eating very slowly!!!

I asked my Dr. She said about the braut.

34 bougie, standard for my surgeon
