Hi everyone, I was banded March 11th (doing very good) is it okay to sleep on our sides?

Thanks,

That's the only way I can go to sleep. Nurse put a pillow at my back in the hospital so I could, haven't had any problems doing so at home.

CONGRATS!

I'm a side/stomach sleeper and have had no problems. I first slept on my stomach at 3 days post op and been fine ever since!!

Hello, I was banded on Jan 28th and that was also a big concern for me. I am not a back sleeper and while I had to stay in the hospital overnite I was on my back the whole nite :thumbup: My back hurt me for two weeks. Needless to say when I got home from the hospital I hit the bed,laid on my side and slept for 8 hours. It felt great and have never had problems sleeping on my side. You should be fine. Good luck on your journey. :w00t:

i too slept on my port side with a soft pillow to support me

I was banded March 3 and sleep on my belly fine. I was doing it like 3 days after i got it. I think it depends on how comfortable u are. Much love!

I was banded on 2/25 and sleep on my side that night at the hospital. It was the only way I could get comfortable.

Thanks everyone. I'll be sleeping much better tonight :thumbup:

Hi Sherry, I was banded a day after you. Congrats !!! Sleeping has been something else for me too I cant stand sleeping on my back but it hurts too much to sleep on my side so i'm pretty much stuck.

I was banded on the 9th, slept on my sides in the hospital with a pillow up against me. When I got home I couldnt sleep or get comfortable in the bed so I slept in the recliner for a few days. Now I am back to sleeping in the bed with a pillow up against me and sleeping ok..Best of luck to you.

Cool, I know where that is. I used to go up there to figure skate at Piney Orchard sometimes in the summer when our rink was closed. I always was a bit plumper than most of the other skaters, this year I have not even gone back to the rink..

Ive been sleeping on my right side, but am glad to go to the left now if only for a short time,, can even sleep on my stomach.. I'm 2 wks post op,, feeling good..
