When Could You Sleep On Your Stomach?



Recommended Posts

I cannot sleep on my right or left side or on my stomach. If I try on my left I get a sharp sudden horrible pain? I had pains before in lower abdomen by left side of belly button. Also had a CT scan an nothing wrong. Getting annoyed about the sleeping, anyone heard of such pains before? I also have diverticulitus so I am always thinking it is that.

Yes My Doctor knows and he is stumped as to why? The pain is getting better but still not the way I used to be. I feel like the port is rubbing somehow? Thanks for answering me back. Been trying to find someone who has the same issues

just saw you were kinda banded recently...i know about 2 weeks ago, my port site was (tender) tissue come to find out it was the scar forming around the band. do you think that could be it??

I thought that too I just don't know. It happens alot when I bend down to pick something up or when I sneeze. The pain did move from one spot by my belly button to now where the port is. I am thinking that it is still healing. My surgery was 5/18. I thank you so much for talking to me. If it is the tender tissue I guess it will go away? I am praying... I have come to just deal with the pain. OH it hurts alot when I sit or after I eat too? Weird ****!

well, we just had major surgery remember and they cut our tummies and insides. i had 5 incisions, so its bound to hurt a smidge

.

it hurt me when i bent (at waist/stomach) or stood up...it does get better. my port spot def let me know it was there up until about 2 weeks ago.

i will talk to you whenever hon. you are def not alone

It was 3 days. I'm a stomach sleeper so I'm so thankful it was relatively quick!! I still can't really flop down and sleep like I use to but I usually start on my side and work to be on my stomach, slowly.

How long after surgery until you could sleep on your stomach again?

Took me about 7 days and I used a body pillow which helped cushion my port

I just had surgery a month ago and never gave it a thought... I'm sure I was sleeping on my stomach the same night.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
