Mine's a 40. My surgeon explained that he has done a lot of research on bougie size and that (from what he's seen) a lot of surgeons that use smaller bougies don't sew anywhere near the edge. He sews very tight up against it. He also says the bougie isn't everything b/c people have such varying size stomachs when it comes to length.

I have a 32f, I can eat about 2.5 oz chicken or 3-4 oz fish at 15 mo out. Oh, and a couple bites of veggie. I mostly eat my veggies at snack and do green smoothies.

Sliders.... well that's an entirely different story,

40 and I can eat 4 ozs easily. I could eat a cup of chili but dense protein, I can only eat about 1-2 oz in the morning. By night time, I can eat a LOT more so I have to be super careful. For some reason, my sleeve holds more at night.

28...2 1/2oz  dense protein and a few bites of veggies.  I can do 1/2 cup of greek yogurt or cottage cheese.  3 years and 3 months out.  Still gotta rely heavily on shakes.
