C section vs VGS

[mamakatx3 1]

This is pretty comforting to hear. My last c section was planned and I felt the recovery was OK and my gall bladder removal wasnt to bad either. Maybe I CAN do this!!!

[AmberMc03 59]

I have had 2 c-sections as well, the 2nd one was 5 years and 3 months ago! I was wondering how much easier this recovery would be than those. I think the diet and liquid I take will be tougher to deal with than recovery of a laparoscopic surgery.

I've had 12 female surgerys

Last being a complete hysterectomy

Emergency gallbladder removal while pregnant

2 c sections

I hope this somewhat helps prep me lol

My gullbladder was worst thing I've ever had done!!

I will add this. after the surgery the only thing that was harder with VSG was the liquid diet. :-) after the c section and hysterectomy I could eat. but the surgery it's self and surgical recovery was much much much easier with VSG.

Sooo glad to hear !!! ????

I can now say that the pain is very similar to c-section. The fear of moving wrong because of the pain at incision point is what's getting to me. And the belly full of gas! I thought I would be much more mobil by now. (2 days post op)

@ please update in a few days to when you are feeling more "normal" after surgery. I am curious to see how long recovery takes to get back to where you feel okay.

I will let you know!!! Still pretty uncomfortable today. Hoping tomorrow will be a lot better. I was at least able to sleep in bed pretty comfortably last night.

I'm glad to read this. I've had two c-sections (one was a horrible experience and very painful, the other one was much easier). My surgery is tomorrow and I'm nervous!

@@AmberMc03 I still have a bit of pain in my right side. It's mostly when sitting down or getting up. Getting into bed. And I can't bend down to pick anything up lower than my knee. I saw the dr yesterday. He said he had to put a couple extra stitches under the incision because he was worried about me getting a hernia. He said not everyone gets them. And he thinks it's pulling on my muscle and will take about four weeks to feel better.

I never had a csection but my rny surgery was way easier and less painful recovery than my births. It was also less painful than my gallbladder surgery, but that was a complicated mess from it rupturing, so not the best comparison, but I totally think of you handled a csection or two that this will be easier than you think. I was expecting the worst and was pleasantly surprised I was even able to climb in our giant van to go home without any worries.

@ - that's good to know and I'm glad you are on the right track. I'm getting more and more nervous and I'm still 2 months out at least.
