Hello ladies, I am very nervous for this surgery. I have had gallbladder surgery and 2 C sections so I wanted to know is it worse then the c sections, better, or pretty much the same in the pain and recovery time.

It's better than a a c section . I personally thought I was going to die after the c section bikini cut. But the sleeve surgery was a lot easier just gas was a struggle.

I experienced pain at first...like I had done 1000 sit ups.....but that was shortlived. The hard part was getting Fluid in. It is a distant memory 3 years later and 160 # lighter.... it was worth it.

Pain was minimal. It felt liked I had done a vigorous workout the day before and was a little sore. Honestly I've had worse menstrual cramps. Thankfully I had no gas pains at all.

I am day 7 post op. Pain was pretty much gone 4 days ago. Almost back to normal. The first night in the hospital was a little rough but I simply asked the nurse for more pain meds and that took care of it. I have plenty of pain medication here at home but I often forget to take it because my stomach doesn't bother me. Just remember to follow your diet and take TINY sips. You'll do great!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
