Question about post-surgical pain

I am wondering how the pain is post surgery compared to a c-section. I've had 3 c-sections and while the first one was really hard, the last two were pretty easy. I've also had two thyroidectomies (they removed half at a time). So for anyone who has had a c-section and RNY, how does the post op pain compare?

Thanks!

dont know as i didnt have but very little pain after my surgery and Dr. Hornbostel doesnt use drains so I didnt have the pain from that ...i was out pulling weeds in my garden 3 days after i got home. I hope everyone does as well as i did after my surgery.

Thanks Jan. I'm hoping I'll feel well enough to attend classes the next week.

i to have had 3 c sections and 2 exploratory surgeries and after the 1st day,,,,,ur swollen and bruised but after 1st day my RYN was no way as painful as my other surgeries

C- Sections are a lot more intense as far as pain compared to the RNY.  I was out shopping 3 days after being home from the hospital.

You'll do great!!!!
