I'm three days post op and somehow I ended up sleeping on my stomach last night, guess the pain wasn't bothering me at all. Is this bad?

I suppose it's ok, as long as it's not painful! I'd say go for it. I LOVE to sleep on my stomach.

Happy sleeping. Shawn

I can't for the life of me think why this would be "bad." You had no pain, so no problem.

Its the only way I know how to sleep.. However, after the band I stayed 4 months not being able to sleep on my stomch. I wouldn't call what i had pain, it was rather discomfort.

Now I'm doing great again, and sleeping on my stomach again:)

Again if no pain there is no problem, but be vrey attentive not to only pain, also any discomfort might mean you shouldn't sleep that way, for now

I was able to sleep on my stomach the very first day. I never experienced any pain like many others have. I never had a problem with my port so I say, go for it!

I usually sleep on my side or stomach. It has never hurt. However, my port did flip, but I doubt the way I slept had anything to do with it. It was just a freak thing.

I'm a tummy sleeper too. No problems here, although, I do admit, I did worry about it when I was newly banded.

I was only banded on 9/4, so it doesn't surprise me that I have tenderness at my port site. I know it'll go away. However, will I always be able to see a slight bulge at the port site? Will I always be able to feel it through my skin?

I sleep only on my belly, cant sleep on my back.I dont think its bad as long as it doesnt hurt you.

My patient coordinator was quite pleased, as was my Dr, to hear that I slept on my side the first night back and had no problems. I guess if they were happy about it I'd say you are just fine
