I found out that my doctor does a 150 cc. Is that good, bad or ugly? First day of my preop diet. I miss my crystal light energy soooo bad. Feeling better than yesterday. Yesterday I had a massive headache.

150 is a little long but if your surgeon has confidence in it...

Mine is 175 and altho I wi**** were a wee bit shorter, I don't have to take as many vitamins as others do...then again, I may not have at a shorter common channel.So who knows.

I'm a 150 cc. I believe that's pretty standard, but shorter does seem to be becoming more popular. I never thought to question the length or that I even could have asked for it to be shorter. Dr. A said that the decision would be made once he got in there and poked around and I trusted him to make the best decision for me based on what he saw and knowing what my goals were. It seems to be working okay for me so far and I've not had any problems with my labs being deficient and having to take boatloads of supplements due to malabsorption. I'd looooove to lose quicker, which might have happened with a shorter CC - but I'll take what I've got :)

Mine is 150. My surgeon did not decide until he got in there and measured. He said I had the intestines of a 7ft man :-)

100 seems to be a very standard length. Mine's 75 and I half wi**** were 50 but then again I'm a 2 stepper (ie sleeve then DS a couple of years later) so that makes progress slower.

Mines 125, within normal BMI at 7 months. Still losing but much slower, 10 # since then. Bowel issues controlled, labs have been spot on, normal blood sugars. Best wishes for your surgery.

I'm a 150 and wouldn't change it. I had no issues losing weight, have had no issues keeping weight off, have good labs, and am overall extremely healthy and happy.

Mine is 150. Of all the research I did prior to my surgery I didn't pay attention to the variable length of common channel. After surgery I finally got a clue and asked the surgeon's office what I had. So far no problems losing weight, and my labs have been good so I'm happy.
