Anybody out there who's surgeon uses a 40 bougie?

How is your restriction and weight loss?

No but mine used a 38 so mm smaller. I have really good restriction and I've lost 30 lbs in 5 weeks. The bougie sizes are just an estimate there's a lot of different techniques that the surgeons can do that make it smaller ect. @@sbtanewme

1 French = 1/3 mm

My doc used a 38 F.

Mine used a 36, but the difference between 36 and 38 isn't much. Take the "french" number and divide by pi, and you get diameter.

Bougie sizes. Not much diff...

Mine used the 40 french and 1/3 cup fills me up

How do you know the size you have? My surgeon never told me
