When Could You Sleep On Your Stomach?



Recommended Posts

I cannot sleep on my right or left side or on my stomach. If I try on my left I get a sharp sudden horrible pain? I had pains before in lower abdomen by left side of belly button. Also had a CT scan an nothing wrong. Getting annoyed about the sleeping, anyone heard of such pains before? I also have diverticulitus so I am always thinking it is that.

Yes My Doctor knows and he is stumped as to why? The pain is getting better but still not the way I used to be. I feel like the port is rubbing somehow? Thanks for answering me back. Been trying to find someone who has the same issues

just saw you were kinda banded recently...i know about 2 weeks ago, my port site was (tender) tissue come to find out it was the scar forming around the band. do you think that could be it??

I thought that too I just don't know. It happens alot when I bend down to pick something up or when I sneeze. The pain did move from one spot by my belly button to now where the port is. I am thinking that it is still healing. My surgery was 5/18. I thank you so much for talking to me. If it is the tender tissue I guess it will go away? I am praying... I have come to just deal with the pain. OH it hurts alot when I sit or after I eat too? Weird ****!

well, we just had major surgery remember and they cut our tummies and insides. i had 5 incisions, so its bound to hurt a smidge

.

it hurt me when i bent (at waist/stomach) or stood up...it does get better. my port spot def let me know it was there up until about 2 weeks ago.

i will talk to you whenever hon. you are def not alone

It was 3 days. I'm a stomach sleeper so I'm so thankful it was relatively quick!! I still can't really flop down and sleep like I use to but I usually start on my side and work to be on my stomach, slowly.

How long after surgery until you could sleep on your stomach again?

Took me about 7 days and I used a body pillow which helped cushion my port

I just had surgery a month ago and never gave it a thought... I'm sure I was sleeping on my stomach the same night.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
