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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
