Some Questions about Sleep After Banding

Its also good to elevate the head of the bed if you have GERD. I used to elevate mine by about 6 inches, but haven't done that here yet since I've lived with DH. And as I already normally moan/groan in my sleep he is conditioned to ignore that. So I should get on it!

I used a wedge, and pillows, but slept in my bed from the begining. I come home on the 3rd day, and was so tired, fromt eh long flight, and drive, I was able to fall asleep on my back. The next night was harder because I wasn't so tired!! But I began propping pillows against my belly, and attempting a side sleep within a week or so. I do know there were times I was super stiff getting out of bed the next morning, sitting up was hard!

Now I have to once again sleep on my left side with my wedge due to GERD (which is why I had the wedge to begin with). But the bed was my only place to sleep.

Sweet Dreams!

Try not to stress too much about this, as most of us find that these difficulties are usually short-lived. You'll be back to sleeping as normal in no time.

I just got home from my surgery. Was yesterday. Didn't sleep in the hospital at all. I can't sleep on my back, when I came home just now, I took a nap on the sofa on my right side and was VERY comfortable. My soreness was actually fading. It depends on you.
