Tonight is my husbands first night home, advise on where or how to sleep, position or anything? He isn't comfortable laying flat. He has done great other wise!

I was sleeved on Tuesday and have been sleeping in my recliner since I came home. Also took a nap propped up on the couch with tons of pillows!

Also those of you who are back in bed and sleeping normal, when and how long did that take?

Try a recliner. I started out in the bed and would go there after a few hours. I tried bed first on my back with pillows to make me more comfortable. I am not a back sleeper so it was hard. He may need help reclining back but it was much more comfortable.

Tell him to hang in there. It will get so much better.

To you, thank you for being a supportive spouse. My husband was my rock and I am so grateful for all he did for me and continues to do. I know how your husband must feel.

On the side....use a pillow up against the tummy for support when moving & things...good luck!

I was sleeved on Tuesday and had terrible gas pains my first night at home so I slept on my left side as best as I could. It was the most comfortable and actually I slept fairly well.

I'm a week out, sleeved on the 17th and slept on my stomach last night for the first time, night 6.

Hi all of you brave people. I am having a few jitters I have my done on Tuesday morning...wow

I slept on my back. Eventually moved to my side. Then to my stomach at 2 weeks out, didnt want to push.

I'm 9 days out(5/14 surgery date) & last night was the first night I could lay flat in bed in any fashion. Prior to that, I slept in my recliner comfortably.

I always sleep on my right side.

Did this 1st night home and it worked but those 1st few days were a b**** getting in an out of bed.

All good now!

The same for me.

I slept in our recliner night 2-4. Was able to sleep in bed comfortably starting night 5 with the help of pillows propping my chest/head up higher than I normally like... but I woke up feeling good.
