Get a body pillow put between your legs while on you side push the body pillow slightly under your tummy.

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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
