It'll probably be a few weeks before it's comfortable. You need to heal a bit before you begin to put much pressure on your port site.

You might be able to put enough pillows around to be almost able to sleep on your stomach, but be careful.

Whenever you feel ready, it's different for everyone but I'd say definitely a few weeks. I was nervous so I slept on the couch for about a month before I returned to my bed out of fear of rolling over in the night. So for me it was about a month before I was able to sleep on my stomach, but I was still careful for another month (but I'm just paranoid)

Im a stomach sleeper too. Its been about two weeks since surgery and I still can't do it. I have turned in my sleep twice and it woke me up. I can't wait till its comfortable for me to sleep on my stomach again.

It's crazy how sometimes I wonder something and poof! Someone asks about it on here!

I am side sleeper and have done a few tests with pillows all around me but still not comfy. Hopefully after a couple weeks.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
