Pain compared to c section?

[fancytiddy 5]

I've had a c section and was up and walking within hours. For those that have been sleeved AND had a c section, would you say the pain was comparable? Better? Worse?

I've had 2 Csections and sleeve, I'd say Csections was for sure more painful!!! The gas op s the worst, mine was gone by day 3!

C Section definitely worse!

This was worst I had two c-sections and I was never in this much pain. I could not stand up straight for several days. All I could think was..Omg my stomach hurts so bad. By day six the pain was gone.

C section was worse by far!

Having had two c-sections and some of the "worst pain in the world" ailments, kidney stones multiple times, gall bladder, and back surgery. My sleeve was not bad. You will have some pain, but it isn't anything that pain meds won't take away. There are not that many nerves in your stomach area so minimal pain.

If you have had your gallbladder out, and did not have any problems with the CO2 gas used, chances are your sleeve will be the same

I had a band to sleeve revision in one procedure. My surgery took two hours. I had surgery on 10/25 and was home on 10/27 Monday, 10/28 was the last day I used pain meds and I do not consider myself to have a high pain tolerance.

I had TVT surgery on 11/4 and now have TMJ and both were worse than the sleeve surgery.

Good luck. I hope I see a post from you post-op saying it wasn't as bad as you imagined.

I thought that the pain/discomfort with the sleeve was worse, but I think having a new baby was a really great distraction with my three c-sections. :-)

Sleeve was worse for me too but so worth it!

So easy compared to c section.

Sleeve was worse than c-section with twins. More nausea and gas too.

C-section was harder to recover from than VSG for me.

Everyone is different, some people will have pain and some people will not. Unfortunately I was in a lot of pain and with pain medicine any pain will go away.

C section by far. Sleeve was a breeze. No gas pain or nausea for me.
