Past surgeries make a difference??

I'm leaning more towards getting an RNY, but was wondering, will it make a difference if I've had a partial hysterectomy and a c section?

 

Thanks,

Terri

It shouldn't, but it's a question for your surgeon. Previous abdominal surgeries can make it more difficult because of scar tissue and adhesions. But I don't think the surgeries you mention are up high enough to be in the way. And lots of women have had hysterectomies and c sections, and later had WLS.

I don't know about the partial hysterectomy, but I had a C-section in 2000..had lap RNY in 2013 with no problems. Like Grim said...ask your surgeon. They can tell you for sure.

Good luck with everything!

I had 2 hysteroscopies and a c section and it didn't affect my surgery.  I was concerned about the same thing and asked the surgeon.

I had a C-section (vertical scar not bikini cut) gall bladder, complete hysterectomy. Surgery was no problem. Surgeon did say I had a lot of scar tissue, but it didn't hinder anything.

Unless you have some major scar tissue. I had a full hysterectomy. I have had hernia repairs. My gallbladder out. I had my RNY through my belly button.

Having had past abdominal surgeries should not be a factor in determining which surgery is best for you.   However, with having had them, you do have the possibility of having adhesions, which the surgeon would perform a lysis of adhesions if they are present, when they do your wls surgery.  You should be fine with which ever surgery you are comfortable with. 


Good luck!

I had a C-section in 2008, followed by a complete open abdominal Hysterectomy in 2014, followed by Laparoscopic RNY 10 months later in 2015.  The RNY was my easiest physical recovery of the three.

That's good to know. It's been about 8 years since the hysto and 18 years for the csection, but I can still remember the pain.. lol
