I'm sure this has been asked and everyone heals different, but ladies compared to a c section incision which was worse for you?

I haven't had a c section but I had 2 childbirths with tearing. This surgery was far more painful than both childbirths (one was over 27hours of labor) both with stiches. I was in pain (severe abdominal pain) for a good 2 weeks after right near my belly button. It is just starting to ease up where I don't need Tylenol ever 4 hours. Getting in and out of car still hurts bad. I am 2 and half weeks post op.

VSG date: 11/22/16

HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 206

You are miserable for the first 3 days or so after the operation, then get better. I found the c section to be worse in terms of pain, also I had zero appetite for a month or so after vsg so it was easy to stick to a healthy liquid diet.

Had 2 c-sections. Sleeved on November 29th. C-section recovery much worse! This isn't bad at all.

I also haven't had a c section, or any surgery, but my wife and I both had VSG. Recovery has been a breeze for us - no complications. The incisions healed up quickly and nicely, and we didn't take any pain medication after leaving the hospital.

I feel lucky not to have had any complication arise, but I don't think we're in the minority either.

I've had colds in the past where i felt worse than the VSG recovery.

I haven't had a c section but did have 4 normal deliveries with stitches. Recovery from vag MUCH easier. Very little pain and walking is much easier!

C-section was definitely worse. I felt like my guts were going to drop out every time I stood up.

3 c-sections was definitely worse. I had a great experience with Vsg no complaints and pain was minimal.

Good to hear! Thanks ladies!

The gas pains were worse than both my C-sections combined! Lol. But the healing was a breeze. Side note...I only had gas pains the first night in the hospital. Get past the first night and you'll be fine.
