C-sections and the band
Well, it sounds like the majority of you think the band is the easier of the two prodecures! YEA! One thing I had with my last c-section that I did not have with the first 2 were major GAS PAINS! I honestly thought I was dying. I think it made it worse that I had not gone to the bathroom before my surgery. 4 days and not going, along with the general pain of a c-section made for a really BAD experience. I definately want to avoid that at all costs if possible.
Another question:
After my c-section, I was not supposed to walk up stairs for 2 weeks. This was nearly impossible b/c my 4 yr old and 2 yr old both have rooms upstairs. Is this a requirement after having the lap band?
I also have a 3 month old who is about 12 lbs. Will there be a problem holding him?
Thank you all for your replys!
I really do appreciate you taking the time to explain your experiences!
Frances, bless your heart! You have really had a time of it!
