Lap-band surgery vs c-section

[catho72 0]

Original poster here....my surgery was about 6 1/2 weeks ago. The recovery was MUCH harder with WLS than with a c-section. The smell of toast made me gag. I was so weak from not being able to eat (and not wanting to eat, either), sore, gassy, etc. I really had buyers remorse for the first couple of weeks. I had difficulty walking, sleeping, eating, driving. Starting around week three, I felt better. I would have the WLS again but the recovery was awful!

with my c-section i was on way hard core pain meds so it was not anything like the recovery for this. i was in way more pain with my lap band then with the c-section. i am three weeks post op and my port site is still sore.

No comparison, I've had 3 c sections. I was up and around no problem. You will be fine.
