40F, oversewn and tight is what I was told. I think it's how you use your sleeve more than what the bougie size is......I'm losing pretty well, IMO. I have no complaints at all!

It's not just the bougie size but also how far they start the sleeve from the pylorus that counts. Also the length of your stomach makes a difference. Keep in mind, however, that restrictin is only part of the equation. There is a hormonal component and reduced hunger.

I had a 36F.
