Size of stomach after surgery Dr. Aceves
Dr. Aceves told me that he uses a 36f on pretty much everyone. But honestly, the bougie is just one factor out of so many that determine success, it's practically trivial.
Other factors that impact how much we can eat include the length of the stomach, how closely the surgeon cuts against the bougie, oversewing techniques, and, most importantly, how well the patient stays on plan.
