VSG compared to C-Section

[kaygarr 0]

Has anyone had c-sections prior to the VSG? If so can you tell me the comparison in recovery with the two of them. I am currently waiting on insurance approval and have had 2 c-sections. I got a long wonderfully with my c-sections and am hoping that recovery time will be a lot less with this since there are only 5 little incisions. Any input would be wonderful. Thanks.

I've had 3 c-sections and the recovery from the VSG is much easier. Post surgery I was more uncomfortable with the sleeve (the first few hours) but mainly because of gases. I too had a fantastic and quick recovery with my C-sections, and as I say with VSG the first few hours are the worse. Hope this helps, good luck

I've had 2 c-sections and the VSG is alot easier except for the gas part. I was up and moving around as soon as I was allowed to and when I got home it was a piece of cake, unlike the c-sections to where u would move the wrong way or sneeze you were doubled over

Much easier than a C-section. But like the others said - the first 2 - 3 hours after surgery are probably the toughest. Gas and I felt a lot of pressure in my chest. I am sure you are thinking it will be worse than it actually is. Good luck, and walk walk walk, and sip sip sip!
