Pouch size

Just reading about different pouch sizes that surgeons use (I've read where they range from 32 up to 64) Does the  surgeon discuss this when you meet him or has anyone asked what size pouch they have?

I don't think they volunteer it because people may get caught up in the number when it's really only a difference of a cc or two. Dr. B. uses a 34 as that's what the surgeon he learned from used as a best practice. I asked him for this information, he didn't volunteer it. As you'll notice on the forums those with a 40 are just as successful ad those with a 32.

When I met with Dr. Savoie I asked him about the bougie size. He only does a 34 which he says is the smallest.
