She did tell me that my doctor makes most of her stomachs about 2 ounces. Is that normal?

There are times that bougie is not used and another tube with a comparable size is utilized. I am not sure about the 2 ounce with the stomach in the sleeve or the Duodenal switch.
Also important to remember not to place to much valve on that number- the size of the stomach is how much you tolerate.
Thank you
