Which Is Worse....vsg Or C-Section?



Recommended Posts

Me too!!!!! This has been the worst experience ever!! I was sleeved on 8/21, I know it hasn't been that long, but the pain is still there, I remember with my c-section I was moving around without major discomfort a few days after...this is bad, I started to fell much better, and just this morning the pain came back, I couldn't even get up from my bed.

I'm so sorry to hear that....what exactly hurts? Is it the incisions or your stomach?

My whole story is in the stories section, (called someting like the story you don t want to read but should). Basicallly I had a COMMON complicatiion of internal bleeding. My life not consists of living in druggy lala land or having spasams all day. And just to add grins to giggles....I havent lost any weight at all. I butchered myself and and now debilitated, and still over weight. I am a very strong person....I cry a lot!

Yes but why the bed rest? Is that doctors orders or are u just to tired to want to get out of bed? Either way sending healing powers your way!

I walk around the third floor about once an hour but it's about 50 steps to get off the floor and I don't have the stregnth. one of the cheif complaintts of internal bleeding is lack of sregnth.

interesting post! i had a c-section on 3/14/10 and i had no pain. i am not even exaggerating. i was up walking around the day after, was released a day early from the hospital and then was driving by the next weekend. i hope the vsg holds up to that :). i always heard terrible stories of c-sections and when i had to get one last minute with my daughter, aside from being scared of what was wrong with my baby but i was also afraid of what the c-section recovery would be like.

good luck to all of you!

Thanks everyone for your posts. I'm just over a week away from surgery and this was very reassuring. Have a great weekend.

I didnt find the surgery to be painful at all. Maybe a little uncomfortable getting up every 30 mins to go to the bathroom, but not painfull.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
