Auggie Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 What size bougie does OCC generally use when performing the sleeve surgery? Is this something that is patient specific or is there a general guideline that is followed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriBecky Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hi Auggie, OCC uses a 32 bougie for patients. This is considered the "gold standard" bougie size and most commonly used. Here is a picture so you can get an idea of the size If you have any questions you can reach me at lori@obesitycontrolcenter.com or 1-866-376-7849 ext. 81 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
