Sleeping???

I have always been a side or a stomach sleeper. Will I ever lay like that again or will it hurt? ( this is of course after surgery! )

I don't have any problems on my side or stomach. :)

After about a week I was able to sleep in any position.

ok good!!!

It wasn't until about a month out that I could sleep on my stomach but I used a body pillow and propped myself on the side.

I actually slept on my stomach the second night after surgery.

hi al

like tod, i was able to sleep on my side (both) with no problem. i am also a side amd stomach sleeper. just go by what your body dictates. all the best

You'll get there! By day 5 or 6, I was able to sleep on my side, carefully.

I was on my back for a few days then used a pillow to support my belly on my side after that. Now I wake up on my belly with no discomfort unless I try to get up too fast. - 2wks postop

Had my surgery Tuesday and I was sleeping on my side last night with no discomfort. Still a little sore but feel loads better than I did on the 4th.
