Sleeping on tummy?

[ShyV. 32]

How long after surgery were you able to sleep in your tummy?

Three weeks to day and although that is not a normal sleeping position for me I could do that.

I never sleep on my tummy but I probably could right now. I'm a side sleeper and have been able to sleep on my side since around day 3.

OMG! I'm doing it now! Is this something that we shouldn't be doing?

[ShyV. 32]

I only sleep on my tummy so I hope not. Right now I've been sleeping on my side with a pillow because I'm still a bit soar.

Ya, I was using a heating pad when I first came home on Friday. I didn't sleep on my tummy until Sunday (I was afraid to try). But now I'm ok. I still have some pain when turning at night, but I take it slow.

I am 9 days post-op and I can sleep in any position just fine- LOVE sleeping on my tummy hugging my pillow LOL!

I was by day 4. I woke up one morning on my stomach and I was just fine. I was so relieved because I have always been a stomach sleeper!

Those replies are encouraging. I recently read somewhere on the internet (could have been this website) of someone who has not been able to sleep on her left side at all since being sleeved. That made be nervous because I sleep on my belly every night.

Day 3. I had no pain from my incisions ever.

I think I did about one week out. As long as it doesn't hurt, I think you will be ok. Just be slow and careful

Its still tender sometimes but I have been tummy sleeping since about day 6. I love to fall alseep on my tummy. I wonder if that will change after losing my tummy?
