It won't be as bad as u think incisions are small didn't hurt much gas pain was much worse first three days was uncomfortable mostly felt like pulled muscles in back and abdominal areas was tolerable still hurt a bit getting up or down or bending over but over all not horrible at all as far as pain goes was more nauseas than anything ask for meds they will give them first three days were worst with gas then got better

I've had two previous c-sections and they made me an expert in rolling onto my side before trying to sit up. My VSG recovery was easier than my c/s recoveries, bit I've also heard others say the opposite.

Pain wise my csection was worse. I was off pain Ned's by day 3 with the VSG. Not so much on the section.

However, I was hating life for about a month after VSG. Strict diet and such made it hard for me to eat and I regretted it. Now I feel normal.

My gastric banding surgery was nothing compared to my c section. With the banding surgery I had a little pain the first couple of days at the port site but it was more of a soreness. The more I walked the better it got. Within a week I was pretty much back on my feet and doing my normal routine.

Don't worry the sleeve surgery really is a very different kind of surgery I've had 3 c sections and honestly with my sleeve no pain at all I was out shopping the day after you have to be a little careful but truly you will be surprised how simple it is

Awesome thanks everyone yea I just know with the c section I walked walking made me feel better or at least heal faster! I know it will be worth it in the end

Have had two c-sections and a hysterectomy (all before age 26) ... This surgery is much better as far as pain goes! For me it doesn't even come close! Also had my gal bladder out and it was even worse than VSG. I had no gas pains, so I can't help with that, so my main complaint the first few weeks were head hunger! Most of my problem was mental!!!
