Crazy question

[mimorison 12]

For the ones that had csection where they actually cut your uterus and you get several stitches on your tummy which one feels more painful sleeve or csection?

[Ravend26 103]

I was wondering this as well. I had a c-section and tho it was painful, it was bearable. I remember the first night after giving birth, I slept on my stomach because I had missed sleeping in that position.

I personally think the c-section pain is worse! Not that I didn't experience ANY pain with my VSG, but it was less. Though I slept on my back and was not able to sleep on my side till 4 days post op and on my tummy about 8 days post op.

Might want to re-post on the women's forums, we guys have no room to talk about child birth and c-section pain. (sort of). On a serious note, the audience you want feed back from might see it there.

@@mimorison I asked that same question, I had 3 c-section and I was told they were way worse, ummm NO! I'm not going to lie my sleeve surgery hurt! It hurt when I woke up but the recovery nurse gave me something so I would stop cussing about how people told me it wouldn't hurt . That pain med made it much better. Getting up and down hurt. I was on a morphine pump and stayed in the hospital 2 days. Day 3-5 (home) were the worst. I finally called my surgeon because I couldn't take it anymore and he upped my pain pill to a much stronger narcotic. After that I was much better. I had a JP drain that caused me some of the pain so I ended up pulling it out myself that made me fell 100x better! Don't let this freak you out because a lot of people say it's not bad. I don't know why mine hurt so bad. I didn't have gas or any of that stuff. It just did. I'm only telling you my experience, the important thing is it's over, I'm down 100lbs and would do it all over agian if I had to. Pain is just a part of any surgery, they did stab me in the stomach 5 times so it's not going to be painless. All in all its over and that's all that matters!

My c section hurt more but then after 12 hours of labour with no pain relief and then delivering a 13llb baby I thought the sleeve would be a doddle. It was!!!

I would agree. My csection was way worst especially the 2nd one compared to my sleeve. I felt some discomfort of course on day 1, but was up walking around. My csection was tough, I couldn't even get out of bed by myself for at least 2 months. This was last year, so the pain is not a distant memory lol! I also had my tubes tied so not sure if that increased the pain.... But I remember thinking, my 1st csection didn't feel like that 9 years ago!

@, not sure if you have had your surgery already. But just a heads up, you can opt to have a single incision sleeve gastrectomy as I did and this minimizes the pain and healing time. the incision is performed along the belly button and once healed is bearely noticeable.

I think the sleeve was way worse than my c-section! I woke up in pain and took pain meds for weeks! I would do it again and have no regrets! Good luck to you!

[desertgirl_74 114]

I had 2 c-sections and honestly had no real pain with either. Same with my sleeve. I only had pain medicine the morning of my surgery. Nothing after. My friend that's had 6 kids had a lot of pain with her sleeve. I just don't think there's anyway to know how it will be.

[majorsmama 91]

It really depends on the person. My c-section was brutal! However I had virtually no pain after my sleeve surgery, aside from some soreness at one incision sight. Vsg was a piece of cake compared to my c-section.

[jess9395 5,450]

I found the c section way worse than the sleeve but Tummy Tuck was worse than the c section.

[Amy4a2381 11]

I do believe my C-Section was the worst pain in my entire life(25staples4lbbaby). I hand lapband revision to sleeve. It was painful but a different kind of pain. For me the gas was the worst.

[samiro23 13]

My c dqec was cake compared to my vsg sx.. the gas from th3 vsg is way worse and last 3times longer..ild do a c sect any day over this.. plus ur getting such a gift after a c sec .makes it easier all I got after my vsg sx was hunger and gas pains lol

[charlenemb 5]

My c-section was worse than sleeve surgery. That said, WLS surgery is not a walk in the park; recovery is completely on you whereas with a newborn you don't have much time to dwell on the pain. I would say sleeve has more of a mental impact than anything.
