Wondering if anyone knows...
Does anyone know what bougie size the surgeons at Weight Wise use for VSG?

When I was approved by Dr Menezes I asked him this exact question and I was told it is a 50 guage which equals to about 80-85 percent of your stomach removed. The remaining stomach can handle anywhere from 50-80 ml after surgery.
Not sure if anyone has been told anything different, I can only go by what I was told.
