I was laying on my back first night home but moving on my side took a few days and even then I supported my belly with a firm couch pillow.

When I got home I had to sleep propped up - like I was in the hospital, for about 8 days. After that, I could lay flat on my back, it took a few more days before I could comfortably lay on my side.

They didn't want me lying down at the hospital either. They had me propped up. I felt more comfortable in a recliner the first week. Afterwards, I went right to sleeping on my side in bed.

After surgery I got in a pretty heated discussion with my nurse (while still groggy from anesthesia) I was super nauseous and I wanted to lay flat because that always helps my stomach settle and she wouldn't let me!! She said it would make me more nauseous and then put a lock on my bed remote so that it wouldn't go down I was so pissed lol
