For The Ladies Who Have Also Had Csections.....



Recommended Posts

Was the lap band recovery a breeze in comparison? I have my mind set that it will be a piece of cake after having two caesareans. I am hoping I am not way off!

I also had 2 c-sections. I think the lapband was less painful (as far as incision wise). I did have a lot of gas pains, i also had a lot with my c-sections.

I have had 3 c-sections- this was way better. And I didn't think the c-sections were all that bad, considering. The incisions aren't where they hurt like they do with a c-section, sitting up from a lying down position doesn't make you want to cry, LOL. I had lots of gas with my first c-section, not as much with my second 2, and the gas with my lap band was minimal. Just walk a lot.

I am so glad to hear this! My first csection was a nightmare, the second was a lot better. It is good to know that this will be easier.

I have had two c-sections which I thought were pretty easy. I then had a liposcopic gall bladder removal. It was SOOOOO easy. I guess I am hoping the Lap Band will be somewhere inbetween the two since they actually add something to my body. I respond very well to surgury. I have learned with all three, the sooner you walk and the more you walk, the faster you get better.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
