Hi Amo,
Sorry to hear you’re having problems. I haven’t experienced what you’re describing, except it was quite a while after my surgery before I could lie on my side for any length of time without some pain waking me up. I always figured it was a pulling sensation at the wrap site. I really don’t know though. In time it improved.
I have a problem now. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea this past summer. My preferred sleep position is on my back, but the machine pressures force air into my stomach via the wrap, and at times it was very painful. I discovered that it isn’t a problem when I sleep on my side, so i’ve had to adjust. I don’t know what I’ll do when I one day need a redo. I guess i just won’t be able to treat my apnea until i’m healed.
Good luck with your GI appointment. Let us know what you find out.
Take care,
Denise
