I had an emergency cesarean section 2 years ago... It was an awful way to birth but worth the outcome. Come to think of it I would rather vaginally birth 100 baby than have a cesarean section again. Anyway, my question is, have any other ladies that have had VSG and a cesarean share about pain levels. I'm guessing the cesarean is the more painful of the two. Thoughts? Input?

I've also had two c-sections, hysterectomy, and gall bladder removal... And the pain isn't as bad as the other three, but the weird part that I guess I didn't think about, is where the pain will be.

All the other surgeries were low on the abdomen and this one feels literally right between my ribs, and up into my throat! But yes I was (and still am) sore, it's a little better than the other surgeries though, but it does hurt!

My c-section was much worse than my sleeve. Sleeve wasn't nearly as painful, I still needed pain meds for about a week but never had the pain I had with my c-section. Plus, getting up and moving around was easier with the sleeve. Trying to get all the fluids and protein in the first week or so was my challenge , but the sleeve recovery was surprisingly easy.
