Re: What size stomach will I have?

[Guest guest]

You stomach will hold between 6 to 8 oz when it is healed completely. But right after surgery and for a few months it only will hold an amount about the size of your thumb--remember it is healing and has quite a bit of swelling.

Everyone is a little different, but that is about the average for most people.

Good luck, keep us posted,

Hugs,

If I remember correctly, Dr. A uses a 36 French bougie, but since he over-sews, it is close to a 34.....but really the difference between bougie sizes is small.Whatever the size, it works!!I had surgery on 8/27 and am down about 110lbs!Sent from my iPhoneOn Apr 15, 2011, at 5:37 PM, "" <nicki_8875@...> wrote:
