Looking for Dr. Boyce DS patients

My surgery is coming up in less then 2 weeks. I was curious what % of the stomach he removed and what the length of your common channel is. He assured me that I would lose alot of weight but the size of the sleeve he said he was giving me seems a lot larger then what most of the people on the DS forum seem to have. I was wondering about what other patients exiperience were. How big big is your sleeve and how is the weight loss coming?

My CC is 100 cm and he said my sleeve was "around" 5-6oz  to make sure I could get all my protein in. I've lost 65 pounds in 4 months. I have plenty of restriction so I'm not sure that it's really that big. I have very few food intolerances (mostly milk and certain brands of bread) and even those aren't so bad that I totally steer clear of them. So for me I feel like the CC channel length and sleeve size is a good balance for weight loss vs food intolerances/bathroom issues (I have none).
