Compare to a c section



Recommended Posts

I'm sure this has been asked and everyone heals different, but ladies compared to a c section incision which was worse for you?

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. CW: 206

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.

Had 2 c-sections. Sleeved on November 29th. C-section recovery much worse! This isn't bad at all.

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.

I haven't had a c section but did have 4 normal deliveries with stitches. Recovery from vag MUCH easier. Very little pain and walking is much easier!

C-section was definitely worse. I felt like my guts were going to drop out every time I stood up.

3 c-sections was definitely worse. I had a great experience with Vsg no complaints and pain was minimal.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
