Call your Doctor Stat (Immediately)! You should really try not to sleep on your tummy so soon after this surgical procedure as they blow up your abdomen with gas and move your stomach and intestines around a bit to secure the band and port. The port is usually placed on the left side but in cases of scar tissue etc it can be placed on the right. You need to check with your Doctor and make sure you didn't pinch or damage something. Usually it is pretty sturdy an in tact inside but it is better to be safe and ensure that you are okay. The pain should not be that intense 7 days post op, again call your Doctor. Best of luck please keep us posted.
