It won't be as bad as u think incisions are small didn't hurt much gas pain was much worse first three days was uncomfortable mostly felt like pulled muscles in back and abdominal areas was tolerable still hurt a bit getting up or down or bending over but over all not horrible at all as far as pain goes was more nauseas than anything ask for meds they will give them first three days were worst with gas then got better

I've had two previous c-sections and they made me an expert in rolling onto my side before trying to sit up. My VSG recovery was easier than my c/s recoveries, bit I've also heard others say the opposite.

Compared to the 3 csections I had, vsg surgery was a breeze. And I didn't have to take care of a baby after, allowing me to heal faster ;)

Pain wise my csection was worse. I was off pain Ned's by day 3 with the VSG. Not so much on the section.

However, I was hating life for about a month after VSG. Strict diet and such made it hard for me to eat and I regretted it. Now I feel normal.

My gastric banding surgery was nothing compared to my c section. With the banding surgery I had a little pain the first couple of days at the port site but it was more of a soreness. The more I walked the better it got. Within a week I was pretty much back on my feet and doing my normal routine.

Don't worry the sleeve surgery really is a very different kind of surgery I've had 3 c sections and honestly with my sleeve no pain at all I was out shopping the day after you have to be a little careful but truly you will be surprised how simple it is

Have had two c-sections and a hysterectomy (all before age 26) ... This surgery is much better as far as pain goes! For me it doesn't even come close! Also had my gal bladder out and it was even worse than VSG. I had no gas pains, so I can't help with that, so my main complaint the first few weeks were head hunger! Most of my problem was mental!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
