For some, it does take awhile to sleep correctly without any port discomfort. Your body is tender for a few days and is recovering slowly. Mine was about 7 days long before i could sleep on my right side (port is on my right side if I'm looking down to my belly button). It was very tender.

Best wishes and Keeep the Faith.

I had my surgery on Wednesday and find that on my side with elevated head and neck is comfy also for pillows to be tucked under your stomach, like everyone has mentioned.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
