I usually sleep on my belly. or the side where my port is. I'm currently 7 days post op.

will I ever be able to sleep belly down again? lol

I'm a belly sleeper .....yes, you will. I think it took me about 2 weeks to get back to a belly sleeping position. It helps if you sleep on your side with a pillow next to your belly for a few nights.

That was how I slept for the first few nights as well.

I am sure once you are healed you will be able to sleep in any position you want. sleeping on your stomach should become even easier as your stomach gets smaller!

I'm two weeks post op and I slept on my stomach the first night. You'll be fine

I sleep with a pillow between my knees and then on my side under my belly..I got in this habit enem I was pregnant and never got out of it. It cushions my port side so it doesn't hurt. I used to be a belly sleeper before kids.

I am 2 weeks out today. Last night I fell asleep in my usual post-op way, which is on my back with a pillow on either side of me for extra protection and comfort, but woke up this morning on my belly! I am a belly sleeper and can't sleep any other way, but after surgery I wasn't gonna even go there. I could hardly stand the pain of laying on my left side with the dang pillow! This morning I was a little sore when I first woke up, but once I started moving around I've was fine. I think your body will let you know when it's ready. Hang in there!!!
