Sleeping on my stomach



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was banded Sept. 2.

For the past week I've been falling asleep on my back but waking up face down, on my stomach. Anyone else sleep directly on their stomach? If I try to when I am getting ready to sleep, it hurts too much, but end up waking up that way....

Just wondering, thanks!

I think you are fine, I was sleeping on my tummy by that point as well, although I used a body pillow to kind of give a little support and cushion so I would be directly putting pressure the painful area. Good Luck!

It took me a while before I could comfortably sleep on my stomach. I was fine while I was asleep but when I got up I had a terrible pain in my muscle above my port. I guess if you can sleep soundly with no pain you are lucky lol. Congrats btw!

I think your fine. I am a diehard stomach sleeper. I slept on my stomach from day one. Felt the incisions but not really pain- I have a very high pain tolerance. Congrats on your surgery!

I sleep on my side and I'm conscious about it. But i do lay on my port and i use a pillow under and it doesn't bother me, i'm 2 weeks out.

I'm a stomach sleeper but for the first 9 days I was very conscious about not laying on my stomach. I would either lay on my back or on my right side that was it. But for this last week I have been waking up in the middle of the night on my stomach. It doesn't hurt it just feels weird. So if you can handle it I say go for it.

I'm the same - I go to sleep on my back or side but always wake up lying on my tummy. I haven't had any negative sideaffects from that.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
