Which Is Worse....vsg Or C-Section?



Recommended Posts

Me too!!!!! This has been the worst experience ever!! I was sleeved on 8/21, I know it hasn't been that long, but the pain is still there, I remember with my c-section I was moving around without major discomfort a few days after...this is bad, I started to fell much better, and just this morning the pain came back, I couldn't even get up from my bed.

I'm so sorry to hear that....what exactly hurts? Is it the incisions or your stomach?

My whole story is in the stories section, (called someting like the story you don t want to read but should). Basicallly I had a COMMON complicatiion of internal bleeding. My life not consists of living in druggy lala land or having spasams all day. And just to add grins to giggles....I havent lost any weight at all. I butchered myself and and now debilitated, and still over weight. I am a very strong person....I cry a lot!

Yes but why the bed rest? Is that doctors orders or are u just to tired to want to get out of bed? Either way sending healing powers your way!

I walk around the third floor about once an hour but it's about 50 steps to get off the floor and I don't have the stregnth. one of the cheif complaintts of internal bleeding is lack of sregnth.

interesting post! i had a c-section on 3/14/10 and i had no pain. i am not even exaggerating. i was up walking around the day after, was released a day early from the hospital and then was driving by the next weekend. i hope the vsg holds up to that :). i always heard terrible stories of c-sections and when i had to get one last minute with my daughter, aside from being scared of what was wrong with my baby but i was also afraid of what the c-section recovery would be like.

good luck to all of you!

Thanks everyone for your posts. I'm just over a week away from surgery and this was very reassuring. Have a great weekend.

I didnt find the surgery to be painful at all. Maybe a little uncomfortable getting up every 30 mins to go to the bathroom, but not painfull.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
