I think it would be really cool if everyone posted their Bougie size, wether it was oversewn or not, and how many ounces they can eat. Place the info right on their message board, so that people can see it on every post we make. It seems to be such a burning question and a hot topic, it would be nice to see it posted for easy reference. I've done it, see below. Thank you.
Directions:
GO TO "MY OH" and then on the drop menu, click "message board", once there, you can permantly add the info to your messages along with your weight loss bar. Make it small, you only get 2 inches of space.

I am 5 foot 7" tall and 43 years young ~ ~ yeeehhhaaww!!
high weight-266
Pre-op weight-257
current weight-170
goal weight-160 (for now)
I have a:
Bougie Size 38 french...Not sure if its oversewn. Doc never said and I never asked.
Capacity for dense protein:
3 oz I'm quite satisfied
3.5 oz I'm stuffed to the gills and try real hard not to go over that cuz I'll make myself sicker than a pup.

I have a:
Bougie Size 50 french, no idea if it's oversewn.
Why so big? Dr. said less complications and studies say very little difference between 50 and 30+. Below you will see that he is sorely mistaken. As for the studies, I couldn't find anything online for more than a 40f bougie. :-(
Capacity for dense protein:
5-6 oz I'm satisfied
8 oz I'm stuffed,
? OZ hurts bad like Thanksgiving (never happened)
I've never thrown up from eating too much.
*note...despite the above...I try to stay around 3 oz dense protein and add 1 cup of green veggies to try to get the full feeling. Doesn't always happen. Yup, this REALLY sucks, but I'm trying...
