3oz sleeve and a 150 common channel...

I believe its all relative. I on the other hand have been on the side of losing slower than many others but have a 50CC and 4oz sleeve. So go figure! I think it is much based on your age, how many prior surgeries have you had before, what your metabolism is like, genes etc.. that determine your success rate and speed.

I agree with Sweetdew.  In my last four years of hanging around here, I have decided it's all a crap shoot.!  So many things enter into it, it is impossible to predict what the out come will be.  I have heard it said that the intestines are soooo slippery it is impossible for even a skilled surgeon to measure accurately, using the Hess method. 

I was given a 2.7 sleeve and a 100 common channel.... I wish I had a 150

 Why do wish you had a 150 common channel, Jenny? 

 I'm not speaking for Jenny and hopefully she'll come back and chime in but my guess would be for more vitamin absorption.

I also agree. Some people have problems with a 100cm cc,  some with a 75cm cc,  some no problems with either.   It is impossible to predict.

For me,  my restriction is nonexistent at this point -  I'm over 11 years post-op. I eat a ton,  and I mean a ton,  as much as I did pre-op.  It is surely my malabsorption that keeps my weight off (obviously).  I have a 75cm cc and I'm very glad I do.  Of course I have digestive issues - and of course I have to be careful about them and about my nutrition/supplementation.    And of course sometimes I eat really badly and I pay the price.  But so what.

I find this thread very interesting.  I am hoping to have DS surgery in the next 2 to 3 months so it gives me much more info to talk about with the Dr.

I got a 100.  I would be regaining if I had 150.  I already have to work to maintain.  I don't think the size of the sleeve is that big a deal because it is going to stretch out anyway.  But your CC length is forever.
