:notagree I'm getting the band in 8 days. I was just wondering if any of your sleeping positions had to change because of getting the band. I have always slept on my stomach. I know I won't be able to do this while I'm healing. Can any of you sleep on your stomach after you have all healed up? Does the port bother you if do sleep on your stomach?:notagree

ok I have a pain tolerance of about 1. What happy pills did you get? I thought we would not be able to swallow pills? Also how was Dr. Ortiz and the hospital? I have been researching him and Tijuana (a little scared there). There they keep you in the hospital for 2 days here (houston) you are out ina few hours. What is the difference? Thanks for the help and good luck on your life change!

Hi. I was banded on 6/28 and slept on my tummy that night in the hospital. It was uncomfortable to do the actual turning, but my tummy felt okay laying on it. I did you a rolled up towel to slightly prop up one side, Good Luck!

I am 3 days post op and I have been sleeping in a recliner with a heating pad on my stomach since I got home fom the hospital.

I'm 3 days post-op and I was wondering if it would hurt to sleep on my stomach. Will it mess anything up?

I'm a side/stomach sleeper. For the first couple days after surgery, I was crashed out at my parent's house on their recliner. I found though if you put a pillow underneath your stomach and sleep on the side it actually isn't that uncomfortable. It took me about two weeks to get back to sleeping comfortably on my side and stomach.

I don't think it messes anything up if you do sleep on your stomach but for me, it just plain hurt.

Paco Momma, I noticed you had a tummy tuck where your signature is.<p>How much did you pay for the tummy tuck? I'm pretty sure I'll need one eventually because my stomach has stretched ridiculously after having kids.</p>

i am a side/stomach sleeper ... mostly on my side but partially on my stomach at the same time if that makes any sense ...

i was on my stomach 2-3 days after surgery ... it was really weird because as i would move, it felt as if my organs and everything inside of me was shifting, but once i got used to that i was great...

ME TOO! I was amazed that I could return to my comfortable position so quickly. I agree it was weird to feel like things were shifting although I thought maybe that was in my head. I still roll over slowly and try not to put full weight on my abdomen even though its been a month since the surgery.:notagree
