Pain Level?

Ladies who have had c-sections and sleeve surgery. Which pain is worst in terms of recovery?

I have had 2 c sections and have a high tolerance for pain. Just trying to get an idea. Surgery is tomorrow.

I haven't had C section but I've had gallbladder, hysterectomy , and my tubes tied. This sleeve was a breeze compared to those. I was never in any pain. Just sore. Nausea was my only negative experience and it wasn't that bad

2 c-sections and was sleeved last Wednesday. I would say similar to a bit easier. The worst thing for me was the drain removal. 6 seconds of agony but other than that, not bad at all. Came home after 24 hours. sleep for a few hours after then get up and walk. As with c-sections, it's hard to get up at first. I was sleeved and back in my room before noon. Slept a few hours then they came and got me up. Walked a lap around the nurses station. Went to a chair after that. Easier to get up from that. Didn't go back to bed till after 9pm to sleep. Got up the next morning and that was it.

Came home and did nap in a recliner for a few days but last night slept all night in bed and could even sleep on my side. No pain meds today at all. Would not have needed them yesterday but went for a long walk and overestimated myself so I was sore. Then got into a bad coughing fit last night so that hurt. I pray over and over again for no sneezing!

I was lucky, did not have nausea but was terrified of it so kept asking for anti-nausea drugs. I figured if it's going in by way of IV, may as well.

All in all, not bad. Not bad at all.

Hope yours goes well!

I had three c sections and this does not even compare. So much better and I also have a high tolerance for pain. You will be amazed when you can actually get up and walk and go to the bathroom.

2 c-sections and gallbladder removal and sleeved almost 2 weeks ago. I'd take the sleeve over the sections any day. It was about the same as the gallbladder. Minus the eating issues, of course :) Don't worry. Just keep up on your pain meds so you feel like you can keep moving around.
