Port And Fills

[mlachata 1]

2 questions I need help with Bandsters....

1. Do any of you sleep on your stomach and if so, is it ok since the port is there?

2.How often do you get a fill....newly banded in Nov 2011?

As always, Thank you for your time and input

I sleep on my stomach and have no issues. I was banded oct 27th 2011 had my first fill 11/30 and go for my second fill 1/10. My dr for the first 3 months tries to do a fill a month if needed and after the first 3 then its really based apon your needs.

I sleep on my stomach but I haven't had a fill yet. First fill 1/23/1. Hopefully I'll still be able to sleep on my tummy!!

I'm a stomach sleeper and right now I'm seeing my doctor every two weeks for fills. My first fill was 5 weeks after surgery and I've had two since surgery, though I had one taken back out because it was too much for me.
