Is being Sleeved anything like it might of felt when having a Hysterectomy? I had a partial a few years back and recovered fairly quickly. Just trying to imagine...

thanks.

I had an open full hysterectomy and the pain and recovery was much tougher than being sleeved

For me surgery pain from VSG is only a tad worse than gallbladder removal and recovery was tougher from VSG than gallbladder. Hope this helps.

Really, that is very encouraging considering the pain of the hysterctomy, thanks.

Hysterectomy is way harder. With the sleeve yes it hurts for a couple of days, but each day you feel so much better.

I had a laproscopic hysterectomy and even that was WAAAAAAAAAAY worse. I couldn't believe how little pain I had with the sleeve, I kept thinking it was the drugs, but I only took them for two days, and am not sure I needed them after the first half-day

I too had a laproscopic hysterectomy and that was much worse than my VSG. I had no pain from my sleeve. Didn't even take pain meds in the hospital. While I know that is not normal-it was my experience.

I also was much more tired after the hysterectomy. I was able to do normal activities much sooner with my VSG.

I hope I have the same experience, I do remember I was really really tired afterwards.

One of my hospital sleeve sister was really really tired. Like some here, she took naps for a week or two. Thats WAY better than pain! LOL Will you have a drain? Seems its no big deal for some and others can't wait to have it out. I didn't have one.

I am going to Mexico! I do not believe they send you home with one right?
