So how long did y'all wait until you felt comfortable enough to sleep on your port side? Mine is underneath my left boob and I'm getting kinda tired of sleeping only on my back or right side-but am scared of sleeping on the port side just yet. It will of been a week tomorrow since I've been banded if that helps.

Hi all, I just got banded last Tuesday! Dr David Kim in Colleyville, Texas did it, and yes, I'd recommend him! I had to be on a 3 week liquid diet beforehand on Bariatric Advantage (chocolate then vanilla-liked vanilla better) since I'm lactose intolerant couldn't use the Optifast brand. Yes, it was torture sometimes, especially at night when I just wanted to eat a normal supper and not...slop. But now I have about one more week of liquid diet to go and thankfully it's normal food! I had a fruit smoothie this morning and while it wasn't chocolate Cheerios :bolt: , it tasted pretty good! I'm starving for just a slice of pizza, but that'll come eventually. I started at 290 before my liquid diet and weighed 269 the day of my surgery.
