i was so big at banding that my extra padding prob helped it be easy for me to sleep on my stomach and i am a stomach sleeper....if it twinges, i just adjust...i dont think it would hurt the port itself, you can call and get your dr opinion if you'd like.

Everyone is different, I tossed and turned so I could sleep on my stomach. Well, needless to say I flipped my port and will be having a revision done on May 10th. I was originally banded on Dec. 28, 2012. So it happened between March and April because I went for a fill the beginning of April. I had a very slight fill the beginning of March, my doctor believes in being very conservative with the fills. Anyway, my doctor saw the port protruding way out and it looked like a tiny golf ball sticking out. He tried to manipulate my port with his hands and I screamed it hurt so bad. I have an extremely high tolerance for pain so for me to scream was not normal. So the doctor said he would not fill me until the port was fixed. I feel hungry more than I have in the past and I know I'm eating more than I should. My journey started at 267 lbs. I was down to 223 in early April. I'm praying to God I haven't gained any weight but I am hungry so time will tell when I get revised in May. My doctor did say that nobody is sticking a gun to my head to overeat which is true and I think that holds me back from eating more but I know I'm eating a little more and I start feeling guilty. Anyway I got off the track lol, just be careful when you lay on your stomach. I love laying on my stomach and now I need surgery to repair the port.
