Heyo!!! I'm new here.. I lurk around and comment every now and then but this is my first official post. After reading a super scary post I decided to ask a few of my own questions. How many of you have had previous c-sections before weight loss surgery and how did it affect your surgery? I've had 3 c-sections and I'm reading now that scar tissue can be an issue. Kind of feeling lost as to what to do before surgery. Thanks in advance for advice and support :)

I've had one c-section (my second child was a VBAC) and had zero complications with my surgery.

I've had 2 c-sections and neither surgeon I seen seemed the least bit concerned about it. My c-section scar wayyyy lower than my sleeve incisions and gallbladder incisions. I cant see how it would be an issue at all. Has your surgeon mentioned it?

I had 2 c-sections and no issues at all so far (sleeved 12/18). I kept telling people the pain from this surgery was far less than my c-sections :)

I was sleeved 12/10/12,have had one c section in 2010. My Dr never mentioned that the c section could be a problem. I had single site sleeve gastrectomy and only had two incisions. Not sure of that helps you at all....

No he didnt mention it but I read about a woman that had scar tissue and the surgeon cut into a bowel because he couldnt see :( thankfully she is okay but it scared me a little bit.

Aww thank you, you're the best! Day 5, that's awesome! I really had no problems with any of my c-sections. I often got comments of why I was walking around and shopping instead of in bed. So that makes me feel relieved about recovery for WLS. Although I haven't really been nervous about the rcovery part just the surgery part.

I had 2 csections. My last one was 7 weeks before being sleeved. To me, the sleeve was worse. My csections were no problem and people were shocked that I had just had a baby. But I had no complications. I just had to care for a 7 week old when I got home.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
