Okay my surgery is scheduled for next week, I am trying to get an idea about the pain I can expect.

I have had two C-Sections, so I know how that feels, as well as a Gall Bladder removal which was laporoscopic also. That pain was minimal in comparison to the 2 C-Sections.

So, for any of you ladies that have had C-Sections...does the pain even compare ?

I have had three c-sections and being banded was a walk in the park. There is no comparison between the two as far as surgical pain. When I had my c-sections, trying to walk was terrible. You will walk fine after being banded.

Haven't had one, but I have had a previous full cut open stomach surgery. This was easier, not as easy and I thought it would be, I was up and moving pretty quickly at the hospital. it's just really sore for a few days. It's a little deceiving because your cuts are so tiny, but it still hurts internally. Nothing unbearable.

I have had two c-sections. In my opinion, the pain was comparable! It was very surprised that I was in that much pain. I do have a low pain tolerance, but I didn't expect that. I had wished that somebody had told me that it might hurt like that before my surgery. I was very sore for about a week post-op, but now that I am 5 weeks out, I feel great! I am 27lbs lighter and I'm loving it!! Good luck to you!!

I have also had 2 c sections. one in 08 and one in 09. I got banded today and the pain is nothing compared to a c section. I got out of bed to go to the bathroom about a hour after surgery and has no pain. I feel a little sore in the belly but that is it. If you have had 2 c sections this will be super easy for you. Good luck!

I had one emergency csection which was horrible as far as pain goes. The only spot that was sore for me for awhile is where they put the port, other than that the pain level for me was on the lower end. Best of Luck!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
