My CC length is 200. I am pretty new post op but no big issues. At 2.5 weeks out I had lost 19% of my excess body weight

 Hi, I am a 75 cc. I have a little more gas now because I eat more carbs now. No issues to speak of at all. down 110 lbs, 10 months out.

My common channel is 100 cm (~40 inches); my vertical sleeved stomach is 100 ML (~3 oz).

My surgeon uses 100 cm for the common channel, the standard for all his patients.  He believes that a shorter cc can result in malnutrition (maybe more vitamin deficiency?).  He does not use the Hess method to determine the proper cc (I asked).

I started a new job early this month and have not had any room-clearing fumes in any of the women's rest rooms thus far.  I do carry a spray in my purse just in case.
