About day 9, I was able to sleep on either side without being uncomfortable.

about a week or so..

I was able to sleep on my side after about a week with no discomfort.

I tried on day 4, as I don't like being on my back, and used pillows to prop and wedge. Once in position, it was comfortable.

I slept on my right side the 3rd night. I don't sleep on my left side as they say not to as it smashes your heart.

I cant sleep good without sleeping on my stomach. I found myself on my stomach a day after surgery. It was just hard to turn over to get off of my stomach when I woke up.

I slept on my side from day 1 post op with a pillow behind my back for support. I slept on my tummy on day 5 with no pain. Getting up and down was hard as was rolling over, but once I was there, it was a thing of beauty.
