Hi Everyone, I am learning from reading that no two sleeves are alike in size. Some have commented that sleeve size depends on your size as well as the surgeons skills. I have learned some are able to eat more than others.
I'm thinking of having my surgery done by Dr Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico. Do you feel your sleeve size is nice and tight? I understand from his video he uses the 32F Bougie. This is standard I'm assuming.

HW 302 lbs. SW 279.8 lbs. CW 193.8 lbs MFP Jarabacoagirl Preop diets 22.2 lbs, 1st month 21.2 lbs, 2nd month 14.6 lbs, 3rd month 11.2 lbs, 4th month 7 lbs, 5th month 7 lbs, 6th month 6.8 lbs, 7th month 5.2 lbs, 8th month 4.4 lbs 9 and 10th months slowed down didn't record exactly

108.2 lbs lost from highest weight!

(86.2 lbs of that was lost since surgery date)
