PAIN

[hollie85 0]

I know that everyone is different, and i haven't had my surgery yet, but i am scheduled for May 6. I had a hysterectomy 3 years ago and i was wondering for those woman that have had one was the pain worse for the hysterectomy or the sleeve? Please any comments about pain will be appreciated. And like i said i know that not everyone is the same, it just makes me feel a little better to hear about others experience with post op pain.

Hi, I had a hysterectomy in the past and the pain was definitely worse than the sleeve (for me anyway). The pain after the sleeve is not very bad at all. Just get up and walk and you will be fine. Good luck!

Excellent topic, hollie! I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago ( a total abdominal one) & I was womderimg if it was similar pain wise.

I did not have a hysterectomy...I had a tuba ligation....and the pain from that was worse then from the sleeve. You are right..everyone is different. Make sure to advocate for yourself. Don't be afraid to ask for more, or different kind of pain meds if what you are on doesn't help. Once you have the right ones pain will be so little that you will be able to get up and move, which means you will heal faster, and feel even better. The doctors and nurses don't want you in pain, so just remember to ask for what you need! Best of luck!

My hysterectomy was MUCH worse. After my sleeve, I took pain med one time that night and never took anything else. I didn't need it. Yes, everyone is different and I know from reading on here that some people do need pain meds but for me, there was no comparison. You will do great!
