olamae 16 Posted December 9, 2016 I'm sure this has been asked and everyone heals different, but ladies compared to a c section incision which was worse for you? Sent from my SM-G900R4 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
augustgirl 58 Posted December 9, 2016 I haven't had a c section but I had 2 childbirths with tearing. This surgery was far more painful than both childbirths (one was over 27hours of labor) both with stiches. I was in pain (severe abdominal pain) for a good 2 weeks after right near my belly button. It is just starting to ease up where I don't need Tylenol ever 4 hours. Getting in and out of car still hurts bad. I am 2 and half weeks post op. VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222.

linah 92 Posted December 9, 2016 You are miserable for the first 3 days or so after the operation, then get better. I found the c section to be worse in terms of pain, also I had zero appetite for a month or so after vsg so it was easy to stick to a healthy liquid diet.

Hammer_Down 631 Posted December 9, 2016 I also haven't had a c section, or any surgery, but my wife and I both had VSG. Recovery has been a breeze for us - no complications. The incisions healed up quickly and nicely, and we didn't take any pain medication after leaving the hospital. I feel lucky not to have had any complication arise, but I don't think we're in the minority either. I've had colds in the past where i felt worse than the VSG recovery.
