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!

Hi everyone, I was banded March 11th (doing very good) is it okay to sleep on our sides?

Thanks,

Sherry:unsure:

I'm a side/stomach sleeper and have had no problems. I first slept on my stomach at 3 days post op and been fine ever since!!

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:

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.

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.. :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
