Okay my surgery is scheduled for next week, I am trying to get an idea about the pain I can expect.

I have had two C-Sections, so I know how that feels, as well as a Gall Bladder removal which was laporoscopic also. That pain was minimal in comparison to the 2 C-Sections.

So, for any of you ladies that have had C-Sections...does the pain even compare ?

I have had three c-sections and being banded was a walk in the park. There is no comparison between the two as far as surgical pain. When I had my c-sections, trying to walk was terrible. You will walk fine after being banded.

Haven't had one, but I have had a previous full cut open stomach surgery. This was easier, not as easy and I thought it would be, I was up and moving pretty quickly at the hospital. it's just really sore for a few days. It's a little deceiving because your cuts are so tiny, but it still hurts internally. Nothing unbearable.

I have had two c-sections. In my opinion, the pain was comparable! It was very surprised that I was in that much pain. I do have a low pain tolerance, but I didn't expect that. I had wished that somebody had told me that it might hurt like that before my surgery. I was very sore for about a week post-op, but now that I am 5 weeks out, I feel great! I am 27lbs lighter and I'm loving it!! Good luck to you!!

I have also had 2 c sections. one in 08 and one in 09. I got banded today and the pain is nothing compared to a c section. I got out of bed to go to the bathroom about a hour after surgery and has no pain. I feel a little sore in the belly but that is it. If you have had 2 c sections this will be super easy for you. Good luck!

I had one emergency csection which was horrible as far as pain goes. The only spot that was sore for me for awhile is where they put the port, other than that the pain level for me was on the lower end. Best of Luck!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
