C-Sections + Lapband

[Marybell 22]

I am 27 and ive had 2 c-sections in the last 3 years. i plan on having more children. im still pre op and going thru the processes for surgery approval. but im concern is when i lose the weight how will that portion of my stomach look / feel. i still have no feeling there to the touch and its hard and swollen feeling. anyone else?

Hi there, I've had 3 c-sections and I have found that time will bring back some of the feeling, but it's still a bit numb. I'm not sure how it's all going to look after I've lost weight, I just know it can't be worse than how I looked at 284 lbs. I may have a Tummy Tuck, or just have some really good Spanx- either way, I will be healthy and happy and thinner!

Good luck in the process, and just know that at least for me, the c-section recovery was way worse (and I didn't think it was bad at all, really). I was banded on a Thursday and back to work (sedentary desk job) on Monday.

My C-section was a LONG time ago (my baby turns 21 this week), but I had no problems healing from that, and the band is in such a different area that it really wasn't an issue. I've regained feeling from both surgeries and the only thing I can actually feel is my port now that I've lost so much weight.

I had a csection two years ago. No issues with it after banding...so far I've lost over 90 pounds but I still have a big bulge in that section...I'm not sure ill ever lose that weight. I still have no feeling in that area.

I feel the same way. I am also pre-band and right now my stomach looks like a stretch-marked fat mess and even if I'm left with scars or some sagging(which I have now anyways right now also after two c-sections)after surgery it will still look better under Spanx in a size 10 dress than right now in a size 22 dress.

Luckily, I had two easy c-section recoveries and I had posted a few months about about the comparison and 9/10 comments came back the lapband is much, much easier. My doctor said he RARELY even needs to keep anyone in the hospital overnight.

GOOD LUCK =)
