Lapband surgery was 2/15/10 and my sofa recliner has been my bed ever since, sitting on a pillow and a pillow on each side of me to rest my arms on. Last week I laid in bed to test it out and I couldn't lay on my right side, still too uncomfortable. So I told hubby will give it one more week. Last night I tried again and I made it through the night finally. This morning when I went to get out of bed and I when I went to sit up, oh my goodness I had a sharp pain in my port area. Is this ok? It was gone once I started walking around but when it happened it felt bad. Anyone else go through this too ?

I was banded a week before you, and totally had the exact same experience. I kept attempting to lay flat in my bed, and it hurt too much. Eventually, I could make it through the night, but the port site would hurt in the morning. It's faded by now. For the past ten days or so, I've been in zero pain whatsoever!
