    Nurse in recovery put me on my side with a pillow wedged under my stomach just an hour after surgery. It was more comfortable and less painful that way for me. I could stay like that pretty much all day but had to have the pillow. I was able to lose the pillow after about week 2.

    But only do what is comfortable... If it hurts don't do it!
