I have a belly binder and that helps me walk straight instead of limping over. I haven’t tried the pillow. I will be trying that today. Thank you!

The gas pain/pressure really necessitated sleeping upright, and the bending/twisting to get in & out of bed kept me in the chair for another day or two. But thankfully, it does get better and by about day 10 I was sleeping completely normally without any issues (on my side/stomach). Hang in there, it does get better!
Thank you! I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. I have little to no gas pain. It’s just the twisting and getting out of bed to use the restroom that have me in pain.

First night being home and I couldn’t sleep in my bed. I slept on my recliner in the living room. My question is for the people who went through the sleeping on the recliner stage. How long did it take you to get back in your bed comfortably? I just want to get in my bed!! 😭

Thanks I’m going to try that. I’m up and down throughout the night. I just want to sleep through the night with no issues. Oh and god forbid I start coughing or sneezing. That’s the worst pain!😭 I know it’s temporary I just wanted to see how others dealt with it.
