Any February 2013 Bandsters?

Yes - I would suggest a recliner or elevated. I was banded Wednesday and have slept in the recliner every night since I've been home. It requires less stomach muscles to get up from a recliner or being elevated. Plus I think it's easier to sleep on you back that way. I am a side & stomach sleeper all the way so this has helped my remain on my back

Yes anyone getting banded will have trouble sleeping. I got banded on the 7th. I also suggest recliner and Lots of pillows.

My surgery is February 12, thankful for this forum and someone else to share journey with. It is comforting to know that we all share similar fears, hopes, etc. I pray that all of us who are sharing this life changing surgery and adventure are successful and blessed beyond our expectations.

MellzBellz21: We are being banded on the same day, but I'm in New Zealand so I'm guessing I will be banded first

I am having a freak out day today and am really scared of having surgery! I think because it's down to single digits now before my big day it's becoming more and more real!

I know exactly what you mean! As the date creeps closer and closer my nervousness starts to eclipse my excitement of the newer, smaller me, and I'm thinking, "WOW this is happening.". Then I start thinking surgery, pain, etc and I freak out. I can't wait until this part is over with. Lol

Can anyone tell me how long till I can start sleeping normally? I'm a side sleeper and no matter how many pillows I use I just can't get comfortable on my back...

I'm 6 days post op and a side sleeper too. It was day 4 when I felt comfortable enough to sleep on my side again. I put a thin pillow under my under to keep it from leaning so much, it made a big difference.
