Hi
George Vasilicostas was my surgeon and i asked at my 1st appointment what size was used. They use a 32, so its the narrowest one.

Just had my check up at 10 months post op and was told that they used a 32F Bougie on me. just before the pre-op diet I was 177kg (BMI 55) and I'm now 118kg (BMI 35).

Really interesting to read thanks will enjoy reading it. How you feeling now ? Hope a bit better. The médium sizes tend not to leak when under pressure. I Asked Dr H it I could have a 32.f as i had heatd it got better Wright loss. He said he prefetred a 36f as it leaked less. As i guess when full. It comes under pressure.

I was told they weigh up the possible complications and then decide what size to use, so whichever size you are given it was the best size for you.
