I've had 2 c-sections years ago, and also a hystectomy :eek:last year and I can 100% say that all 3 of those were hell compared to my Lap-band surgery. Lap band was nothing compared to those.:clap2:

Hi,

I plan on being banded early next year. I should be done with all of my req's by 12/18/07 if all goes as planned. I was originally going to do it a year ago, but my father fell ill and there was just too much going on. I live in Orange County, CA and will have it done at St. Joseph's Medical Center in ORANGE, CA by Dr. Eric Pham.

I've not had a Csection...but I did have a Tummy Tuck and from what I gather...it's the same thing. Abdomen being opened, muscles ripped...etc.

And goodness NO. The band was a breeze compared to that!
