Hats is worst gallbladder removal or VSG

My gallbladder hurt like heck. My VSG, only when I tried to turn over in bed. I took Vicodin for six days after gallbladder, no pain meds after 3 days with VSG.

For me, it was gallbladder.

Ugh if you mean the actual surgery, it was VSG.

But that doesn't mean VSG surgery is bad. GB surgery was just that much of a breeze.

Day after GB I was back to normal, no pain, never needed meds, etc.

VSG had an incision that tweaked for a while, and I had some energy issues.

Yeah....I agree...the VSG surgery was a little harder on me also, but I had a hernia repair thrown in, so I was on pain meds for 2 solid weeks 24/7. It gave me a hard time. The stomach part was fine though. After gall bladder surgery, I was fine after a few days. BEFORE gall bladder surgery, however, was some of the worst pain i've ever experienced in my life! And I've given birth to twins! lol

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time they did a total hysterectomy and removal of a bartholand gland cyst. I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours (really don't like being in the hospital) - and back to work 3 days later. So if my VSG goes that well - I will be VERY happy. Did the same thing with emergency surgery a year ago January for a hernia that twisted my intestines! That was so much worse feeling that the gall stones! LOL - I'm not so good with the pain meds. Too much of a control freak - hate feeling "out of control" - so I'm hoping this procedure will go just as well for me as all my others. I have a pretty high threashold for pain - either that or I just don't like to admit I'm hurting! LOL

Neither. . . I didn't have much pain with either surgery. this really just depends on your own way to cope with pain. . .

Gallbladder surgery was a breeze, back to work in a week and a half (Could have gone back in 3 days but didn't ) VSG, pain was there but not bad, the nausea tho was TERRIBLE!! I took two weeks off but could have stayed off another week due to fatigue.
