I asked my doctor at my pre-op appointment (surgery Monday 10/19) if he could oversew the staple line for more restriction. He told me that I'll be very restricted with him using a 26 French bougie. I did some research and found that the bougie is what they place around the stomach to measure the size to staple shut, so the smaller the bougie the smaller the stomach. Which I'm very happy about!

I've been reading a few other threads, but the smallest I've seen is a 32 bougie. I'm curious as to what bougie size everyone else is getting?

so long and thanks for the fish!

How did you type that with only flippers and no fingers? That proves that dolphins are extremely intelligent!

Arthur Dent typed it for me. Humans are good for some thing like that.

IMO - As a newbie, I am 5 months post, I think we (newbies) need to take a breath and remember that reading replies is a lot different than talking to each other. Things are interpreted out of context and feelings get hurt.

@@kimdlawson06 I try to be helpful! It's so silly when you think about it. It's just people and their opinions. Nothing more nothing less. Yes, always ask questions! You hired them.

If everyone would kindly refer to the very last line in the "butt-hurt form" I think we could all sleep better. Not all of you though, some of you are so up tight you probably won't sh*t for a week. "Smooth move" tea my friends.
