What's worse: Breast reduction surgery or Gastric sleeve procedure??



Recommended Posts

I had a breast reduction and c.section so comparing the pain. How would u rate the sleeve procedure .. breast reduction got pretty much completely healed by 6 wks.. c-section i healed pretty quickly maybe 2 -3 wks- ( still sore to the touch of course) j went to my first doc visit and felt pretty good.. so this surgery I'm wondering could I compare it to one of these.. has anyone had a breast reduction ?? How and what would u compare it to..

I had a breast reduction many years ago. And I had a hysterectomy 10 years ago.

I just had a bypass not a sleeve, but it was WAY easier than either of those two! By a mile!!

I haven't had breast reduction, but I've had various surgeries, including an open (not laparascopic) hysterectomy, and I'd compare the sleeve surgery to my gall bladder removal. That is to say, very little pain and rapid recovery. You'll have a lot of adjustment to the internal change--having the tiny stomach--but as long as you eat according to your doctor's and/or nutritionist's instructions, that should cause minimal difficulty as well. Your experience may vary, of course, but it sounds as though you don't have serious pain issues with surgeries, so I'd guess you'll find it fairly easy.

My breast reduction surgery was MUCH worse than my bypass surgery ... for pain and healing time. Bypass was easy compared to that!

Sleeve was so much easier than my breast reduction. I had virtually no pain with my sleeve operation. Never took a pain pill. The mental/behavioral challenge was much harder for me with the sleeve than the physical part. BR healing was much longer/harder.

I had breast reduction 7 years ago and was sleeved on 12/27. Reduction pain way worse than sleeve. I have a high tolerance for pain so the sleeve was not bad. I did not use my pain pump not once during my overnight stay nor have I taken any pain meds since being home.

      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.
