Having trouble laying down flat. Pressure in stomach - have to sleep in a recliner.

Hi all - I had lap band surgery this past Tuesday and overall am doing great. I'm able to eat and drink, although I'm not hungry. I've been walking a lot and am feeling great overall with the exception of laying down in bed. I feel a great amount of pressure in my belly and it's really uncomfortable so I end up sleeping in our living room in a recliner. Just wondering if other people have experienced this as well and if it is pretty normal and will pass. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
