Stomach pain while lying down

Green1 · December 28, 2016

I got a lap band revision to the sleeve. Since then when I lie down after I go to sleep its hard me to get up. I usually lye on my abdomen when going to sleep. The soreness feels really bad and goes into my back. I dunno what 2 do now.

I am feeling the same on my ride side but mostly when I'm laying down. I had the sleeve too.... Following.

Probably since you lay on your stomach, you're pushing into damaged tissue, bruised etc. and when you get up it's flaring up. Think if you had a bruise on your arm and you pushed into it for a minute then let go. It's pretty painful. I watched some YouTube videos on band to sleeve conversion (about to do it myself) and they are rough. A lot of cutting/burning of more than just that small area. The band creates scar tissue. Try sleeping on right side with a pillow prop or back and see if it still bothers you.
