Have not been able to lay down or sleep in my bed I have been sleeping in my recliner. When I lay flat on my back I feel like something heavy is sitting on my stomach and when I lay on my side it hurts my stomach... Ugh I have to be on an incline.. I'm ready for this to be over so I can sleep back in my bed.. Banded last wed may 23

I wad banded on 5/25/12 and so far I can only sleep on my right side in the bed. I too am like u, when I lay on my back I feel pressure like something is on my chest. Because of this I split my time between the bed and the recliner. Unfortunately I had knee surgery a month before I was banded so I am used to the sleeping in the recliner :-(

I was banded on may 7 and was the same way I had a mountain of pillows just so I could be at a recline and trying to sleep on my side was non existant for about a week and a half

Same with me. I layer in bed all proped up. It gets better

I made my husband switch sides with me because I could not lay on my left side. So I would sleep on my right side half the night and go to the recliner the rest of the night. It only last 4-5 nights and then I was able to sleep on my left side.

Was banded April 25 and still can't sleep in my bed

This is all normal. I was banded 4/17/12 and I'm just NOW able to sleep or lay on my tummy. If you've vet been pregnant, you are familiar with the pillow fort. For the past month and a half, I've slept in a pillow fort.

The important key is to keep on icing even I you feel it doesn't hurt. It will help and you'll be able to sleep better eventually. It does get better.

Try the pillow fort and sleeping on your side with ice. Also take your liquid tylenol/Advil. Healing takes time and you will be able to sleep normally again.
