I always sleep on my stomach and since surgery I have been sleeping on my back and sides. Well, the problem is, my hips are sore and I don't sleep as good on my back. Is it ok to sleep on your belly? I was told that sleeping on your side is ok but didn't address the belly:confused:

I started sleeping on my tummy again after about 2 weeks- when I felt I could without pain. I slept much better on my tummy again! I was banded 12/20/07 & have been doing it for about2 months now & I'v e not had any probs. Good luck!

You really can do anything that is comfortable for you. sleeping on your tummy is not going to hurt the port or make it flip or anything like that. It is just kind of uncomfortable at first to lie in that position. I am a side sleeper and couldn't sleep on either side right after surgery. That was the worst part of the surgery for me! If it feels okay for you to sleep on your stomach go for it! And if it hurts now, it won't forever!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
