LEFT SIDE IS WIN-WIN
While I prefer sleeping on my right side, it's definitely much more comfortable, and healthier to sleep in the left side. It's easy to see from the visual below that the balloon is more comfortable in the pocket of the stomach, rather than where it sits when sleeping on the right side. Also, sleeping on the left side decreases acid from flowing back up the esophagus- which improves acid reflux at night. Also, if it helps with waste elimination, then it's definitely needed. Waste elimination will always be an issue since constipation is so common with this balloon. Sometimes, I might find myself briefly laying on my right side, but for the most part, my new favorite sleep position will be my left side.
Here's another quick article on 15 reasons to sleep on left side.
