VSG pain vs. c-section pain?



Recommended Posts

For me, C-section was WAY worse. Laparoscopic surgery is far less invasive and I had much less pain and had more mobility much sooner.

C-section was worse. I have had 3 and struggled when having to engage abdominal muscles at all. I recovered quickly from my c-sections and never needed pain medicine once leaving the hospital.

The VSG pain was nothing compared. I actually complained more about a shot they gave me prior to surgery in my leg, it was sore and uncomfortable way more than the surgery site.

Good luck.

I think after being through a traumatic emergency C-section and a lot of pain to recovery my Sleeve will be much easier! Not even scared of the pain at all. Pregnancy and Emergency C section trained me very well!!!

2 c-sections - 1999 and 2003. The sleeve was a walk in the park. I went into the hospital Tuesday morning at 6 am and left Wednesday at 1 pm. I could bend over and tie my shoes, I could walk without using an IV pole to stand up straight. I didn't use any pain meds other than tylenol when I got home and 1 or 2 doses of an anti-nasuea med (I have trouble with nausea from anesthesia.) I was back at work on Monday morning (I'm a desk jockey who is in the office 2x a week.)

Most people say c-sections are way worse! Two more days and I'll find out! Yayayaya!

For some reason I couldn't shake the pain. I couldn't shake the pain from my c section either though so maybe I just can't deal with pain well. I biggest pain was the stitch in the muscle on your left side where the stomach comes out of. I actually decided to watch the surgery on the Internet before I had it. I don't recommend that unless you are good with that stuff. LOL!

I had surgery Wednesday and was in pain until this evening (Saturday). With my c-section I didn't have that pain. But I can say I do feel much better today.

I've had 3 midline C-sections (the up and down vertical incisions - not the cute little bikini line ones. lol) and my sleeve surgery was a breeze in comparison. I was up and walking that night with just a little discomfort. Even though I had pain pump, I was only use the bolus button 2-3 times (mainly before walking the hall and right before bed) a day for the first 2 days so they just discontinued it all together.

When I got home, I used some of the liquid vicodin for the very first day and then didn't need anything after that. It was easy - peezy!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
