Short term panic regarding post op measurements. thankful for this site.

I had to obtain my post op report for time off work and when I read the details I was concerned thinking my measurements might may have been too large and I would not lose wt. Per my post operative report " The new gastric capacity is about 80-100 ml; the alimentary limb length is 300 cm and the common channel is 150 cm"

Thankfully related to this site and my Dr U my panic has been reduced

Dear Donna The capacity of your stomach is 3 ounces. Maybe it’s the common channel seems larger (150) but remember your BMI .The capacity of your stomach and the lengths on your limbs will work very nice on you. I agree about avoid carbs. (Major Moms advice) Give it time. Do not run Take it easy, surgery was done only less than one month ago. Keep close.

 there's a thread on FB about this now too you might want to see

He normally does 100 cc, did he give you are reason? Are you a lightweight? I'm just curious.

Yes I am a light weight before surgery 200 to 205 5'4" however my standard wt was between 190 and 195 when I first sought Dr U out..  I do remember him saying he uses the Dr Hess may have that spelled wrong when it comes to light wt rather then his standard.  At first I had a gain which I am sure was jus****er wt and now I am losing but not quickly like I have read from others on here.  He also removed a lap band which was apparently difficult to get out related to adhesion and scar tissue. 
Thanks
Donna

Now I'm thinking I must have been a fatass for him to give me 100cc. lol.

No............  I do hope after one failed WLS this is helpful
