Ladies who have had c-sections and sleeve surgery. Which pain is worst in terms of recovery?

I have had 2 c sections and have a high tolerance for pain. Just trying to get an idea. Surgery is tomorrow.

I haven't had C section but I've had gallbladder, hysterectomy , and my tubes tied. This sleeve was a breeze compared to those. I was never in any pain. Just sore. Nausea was my only negative experience and it wasn't that bad

2 c-sections and was sleeved last Wednesday. I would say similar to a bit easier. The worst thing for me was the drain removal. 6 seconds of agony but other than that, not bad at all. Came home after 24 hours. sleep for a few hours after then get up and walk. As with c-sections, it's hard to get up at first. I was sleeved and back in my room before noon. Slept a few hours then they came and got me up. Walked a lap around the nurses station. Went to a chair after that. Easier to get up from that. Didn't go back to bed till after 9pm to sleep. Got up the next morning and that was it.

Came home and did nap in a recliner for a few days but last night slept all night in bed and could even sleep on my side. No pain meds today at all. Would not have needed them yesterday but went for a long walk and overestimated myself so I was sore. Then got into a bad coughing fit last night so that hurt. I pray over and over again for no sneezing!

I was lucky, did not have nausea but was terrified of it so kept asking for anti-nausea drugs. I figured if it's going in by way of IV, may as well.

All in all, not bad. Not bad at all.

Hope yours goes well!

I had three c sections and this does not even compare. So much better and I also have a high tolerance for pain. You will be amazed when you can actually get up and walk and go to the bathroom.

2 c-sections and gallbladder removal and sleeved almost 2 weeks ago. I'd take the sleeve over the sections any day. It was about the same as the gallbladder. Minus the eating issues, of course :) Don't worry. Just keep up on your pain meds so you feel like you can keep moving around.

        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
