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 2 csections my latest being 17 months ago. This surgery is a piece of cake.. all my nurses kept commenting. "Wow ur doing really well" I was like this is nothing compared to a cesarean! !!

Oh I was sleeved dec 11th

Right on! My last c section was 14 months ago but by the time surgery is here it will be 16 months. I'm glad it was so easy for you' date=' im hoping it will be for me too since my cesareans werent a problem.[/quote']

Best of luck to you.. I wish you a speedy recovery!!

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.

What made your sleeve worse for you?

Three c- sections - last one was January 2012, sleeved November 2012 - no problems at all. Sleeve is much easier than section - sore for around 4-6 days post sleeve, then good to go!

Best of luck to you.. I wish you a speedy recovery!!

Thanks! I hope you are adjusting well to your sleeve

Thanks to all of you. I really didnt want to post because 've read quite a few drama posts and I didn't want anyone to be mean to me so thank you. I'm glad I did ask.

Thanks! I hope you are adjusting well to your sleeve

I am. . Im on the mushy, puree stage..so far so good. Keep us posted on your journey to surgery!!!

It was more painful to me. The gas pains were horrible, I had stitches which were a pain, and the drain was icky to me haha. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

For me both the c section and the sleeve were comparible pain wise. I had a pretty easy recovery with my c section and was out of bed the next morning. Same with the sleeve. I did however have terrible nausea with the sleeve.

I didn't have a drain or stitches - had glue. Glad I did and that may be the difference. I also had gas but it didn't really get built up because I was burping like crazy. Very ladylike and sexy

Some people are blessed ::sigh:: lol

I hope you're one of the lucky ones, lwilliam!!

Oh I didn't have drains and i had staples.. gas was terrible but it was in my chest.. it passed rather quickly. But overall pain when waking up from recovery. I can honestly say not bad. I hate to say this but I only used the morphine to quickly fall asleep not for the pain.

I had a c-section over 13 years ago and I was sleeved on 12/17/12 and I am healing just fine

Some people are blessed ::sigh:: lol

You talking to me? Lol. I ended up having an emergency c section with my child as baby's heart rate kept dropping and not coming back up. I had heard nothing but scary c section stories. So when I was told by a group of 20 people (nurses, drs, etx) that I was going in for c section on top of being scared for my baby I was scared of the section. So when I was able to get up and move around pretty well after that scary evening I had I was so happy and blessed.
