TT or C-Section

OK so those of you that have had a c-section & a TT since or before. Which did you feel was the worse of the two? I have had 3 c-sections and when I went for one of my consults I was told that the TT would be a piece of cake compared to the c-sections. Is this true? Have any of you been through both and can compare the two? I am getting close to my surgery date and I am getting nervous. Thank you and any advise would be helpful

Okay.. I had a few surgeries at the same time BL/BA, TT and thigh lift with lipo..My plastic surgery was more challenging than my C section.. but I think the TT alone would be a breeze and here is why.. the theft lift and lipo is what is really hurting and preventing me for me more mobile..

If you have the time, my recommendation would be to strength your arms and back and thighs before surgery.. My back is sore and gets tired quickly from walking hunch back...I wished I would have worked out more on my back before my surgery.. I had no idea how challenging it would be.

Work out your core before your TT..

I've had c-sections and an extended TT. The drains of the plastic surgery were my downfall. I hated those. The pain of the TT was never about the actual cuts for me--the back pain from slouching a bit and the discomfort of the drains sucked for about a week. I remember bouncing back from my c-sections easier. Maybe that was because as a new mom, you HAVE to!

Thank you both for your responses. They have eased my mind a lot. If you have any other advice please feel free to share.

my TT was worse than my c-section as i had lots of muscle tightening.  pain was pretty severe the first week but was managable with meds.  i had my TT 9/6/11 and love the results.  was worth every drain and pain!!!
