Guest guest Posted February 7, 2003 Report Share Posted February 7, 2003 If remember correctly, I think the c-section was more painful but my kids were born 35 and 31 yrs. ago. I had open RNY. You can control your own pain meds as needed. Arlene questions... Hello Everyone, I am eager to know if anyone has had a c-section prior to having WLS. If so, which one was most painful? Also, I see a lot of messages with " LOL " , what does that stand for? I thought it meant lots of love but then I see it in sentences where that wouldn't necessarily make sense. Finally, I am 5'5, 250lbs and pre-op. I have a consult with the surgeon on 2/27/2003. I really want to be approved for this surgery. Well, just thought I would give a little background info on myself. This is my first time posting here. Thanks! Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 Hi Rose. Welcome. I had 2 c-sections prior to my WLS. I had an open RNY. My 2nd c-section hurt more than the first. I blamed it on being older. I would say the WLS was worse than the c-sections for me because the incision is up higher so you feel it more when you're bending, trying to lay on your side and such. But it is survivable. Don't psyche yourself into being too scared. By the way, LOL means laughing out loud. And another one, is ROTF - rolling on the floor, so ROTFLMBO is rolling on the floor laughing my butt off. Some use an A instead of B but I bet you can figure out what that stands for! That's it for your internet lingo lesson today. Take care. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY - 5/21/02 Dr. Chua 5'8 " - 314/221/150-175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2003 Report Share Posted February 8, 2003 They ARE a nice family. They get to scrapping a little, like a real family, of course, but usually the " guiding " is done in love. The mean spirited just don't stick around. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
