I have always slept on my stomach, the past almost week since surgery I have became a back sleeper . It has not been as bad as I thought, but I wonder when I can sleep on my tummy again. I do miss it:(

It took me 3 weeks to not have pain at my main incision site. You should wait at least 2 weeks so you can be sure it's healing before you sleep on it.

I slept on my stomach the first night home. Put a pillow down to help support my stomach. no problems at all.

I had the same problem. I couldn't sleep on my back and i slept sitting up for the first week. Then week 2 i was able to sleep on the side and after week 3 i started sleeping on my stomach again

I have been wondering this as well!

You should be okay after 1-2 weeks. I could sleep on my stomach after a few days. Hang I there you are healing every day

I'm pre-op and a tummy sleeper, too.

Thanks for the info.

Congratulations on your surgery.

My doc said it was ok during week 2. I used a pillow to support it bc there was a slight "pulling" feeling. Not painful, just strange.

Took me several weeks, even with the pillow. I was so glad when

that stage ended.

I slept on my stomach about 5 nights after surgery it he only problems I had we're when turning over... It was hard to do. Now, 3 months out, I find myself sleeping on my back and side as much as my stomach
