How did you sleep before surgery , I was a stomach sleeper before surgery, now I am a side sleeper , & I really don't know what to tell you expect ask your surgeon if it could be related to the band, then again you may find out some other pains as they did stitch our bands to a muscle in our stomach , later on we find out about muscles we didn't know we had or used , hope the pain goes away , any way how r u feeling now besides that up & getting around better & did things move along for u LOL.

I was a stomach sleeper before surgery. I have been sleeping on my back or a little on side. Maybe that is it. I am otherwise doing ok just trying to get reconditioned. Appetite has returned on day 6 and no fill for 3 more weeks. I start mashies Thursday. 1 day early per my surgeon's office. Yeah! Back to work Wednesday

Luckily after I had surgery I had a adjustable bed but I still put a LOT of pillows behind me so I could sleep , after a few days I was OK but others have slept in their recliner for a few days because like I said we are using muscles WE didn't know we had & having the band stitched to our stomach muscle well painful when we move certain ways , it will get better & in a couple of months you will start noticing even more changes with you.
