Mine was measured with a 60f bougie. I'm told that's one of the larger sizes used these days but my surgeon uses it as a standard.

Not sure if they actually used a bougie - but my stomach holds 100cc's (well, held 100 cc's, much more these days)

40 French, my immediate post op capacity was 2.8 oz.

4 years out, it is 8 to 10 oz comfortably, depending on the density of the food being eaten.

I'm not sure of the bougie size, but my surgeon's standard is a 115mL stomach.
