shellyd88 463 Posted May 16, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quest4TheNewMe 225 Posted May 16, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MountianGirl 109 Posted May 16, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladycook9713 442 Posted May 16, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Books 29 Posted May 16, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nic_89 15 Posted May 16, 2015 Awesome thanks everyone yea I just know with the c section I walked walking made me feel better or at least heal faster! I know it will be worth it in the end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Casey235 83 Posted May 17, 2015 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!!!
