YngGram 73 Posted March 14, 2009 That's the only way I can go to sleep. Nurse put a pillow at my back in the hospital so I could, haven't had any problems doing so at home. CONGRATS! Niterun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paulawally 0 Posted March 14, 2009 Hello, I was banded on Jan 28th and that was also a big concern for me. I am not a back sleeper and while I had to stay in the hospital overnite I was on my back the whole nite :thumbup: My back hurt me for two weeks. Needless to say when I got home from the hospital I hit the bed,laid on my side and slept for 8 hours. It felt great and have never had problems sleeping on my side. You should be fine. Good luck on your journey. :w00t: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snowjade 0 Posted March 15, 2009 I was banded on the 9th, slept on my sides in the hospital with a pillow up against me. When I got home I couldnt sleep or get comfortable in the bed so I slept in the recliner for a few days. Now I am back to sleeping in the bed with a pillow up against me and sleeping ok..Best of luck to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenfs5 19 Posted March 15, 2009 Hey Jen,I'm in Odenton Cool, I know where that is. I used to go up there to figure skate at Piney Orchard sometimes in the summer when our rink was closed. I always was a bit plumper than most of the other skaters, this year I have not even gone back to the rink.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
