Can't sleep on port side

[CurlyDiva 5]

Hey all!!!

I'm having a hard time sleeping on my left side!!! My port is on the left side of my tummy and whenever I try to sleep on the left side it hurts in the upper right of my abdomen area, sorta like a pulling sensation. Like organs or hanging with no support or something! Weird I know. I was banded July 13,11. Anyone else still can't sleep a certain way?

I had trouble too for the 1st couple weeks. Now, every once in a while it bothers me but I adjust my belly and it's ok. HTH

I had some pain on my left side also and that is my favorite side to sleep on......I would wedge a body pillow under that side and that would help....

I guess I will consider myself "lucky" I was banded on July 29 and was sleeping on my right side/ port side a few days later. Now I do put a little soft pillow there between the bed and my tummy, It is very soothing and comfortable. Hope this helps, good luck.

I am 8 1/2 months post op and I still have pain when I sleep on my port side once in awhile. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason why it sometimes hurts more than others. I hope it gets better for you

Hey there, I was banded on July 28th and I was actually sleeping on port side two nights after surgery. Now I slept on my side and not leaning onto my stomach like I used to. Now I can pretty much sleep either way and on my tummy but when I position myself I have to do it slowly. Sometimes I'll get a sharp pain in that area but I assume it's still tender from surgery. It should pass with time. Good luck!
