I really dislike sleeping on my back. I wake up so tense and with muscle aches. Did anyone find a way to sleep more comfortable. Im a tummy sleeper mostly and also like to sleep on my right side but it feels like all my organs shift when i do that lol so I keep it safe.

I'm also a tummy sleeper, and had back pain after the surgery. Just couldn't get comfortable at night. I didn't have pain from the incisions (not for long anyway) but I would wake up after a few hours because my back was sore & I just couldn't find a comfortable position. Finally ended up buying a new mattress! Got the sleep number bed and its awesome! But that's kind of an extreme response; if you don't want to buy a new bed you could try getting one of those mattress toppers. I also noticed that as I started working out the combination of weight loss and strengthening my back muscles helped with the pain.

Yeah a new bed right now would be lovely haha.but til then I guess ill have to stick it out til I heal a little better. I noticed that my shoulder and back muscles are really tight and tense I might invest in a quick massage session to loosen things up for now! Thank you for your response :-)

      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.
