Like sleeping in my bed instead of the recliner:( The pain was gone until I tried to sleep in my bed for the first time 9 days post op!!

When i came home i slept in the lazy boy(10 days sleeping in chair) 5 days ago i started sleeping in the bed again. I needed alot of pillows so i wasn't in pain.

Pillows under knees and in between knees helped me a lot.

I too slept in the recliner for about 9-10 days then slept in the bed with a regular pillow and a body pillow.....thanks to my wonderful husband who went and got me a body pillow at the last minute!!

I slept on couch for the first few days then had to go into bed, couch wasn't comfy at all. I kind of slept on side and curled up with pillows as long as I took pain pills before bed I was fine till morning. It's the rolling over and forgetting that kicked my butt. My neighbor had the same surgery and slept in recliner for weeks.

I still go back and forth from sofa to bed and it has been a month. My body pillow is my best friend she follows me no matter where I sleep . I am thinking of giving her a name. Haha

I'm thinking "Fluffy"! LOL

. I am thinking of giving her a name. Haha

No doubt! My bed- Enrique. My pillow- Julian. My car- George. I name everything I love:-)

I am sleeping in bed but kinda propped up. I tried on my side 2 nights ago, what a mistake, my guts were killing me. 12 days post op

I'm 1 month post op. slept in recliner for a week then moved to the bed with a wedge pillow and many others!! Still miss sleeping on my side n belly!

After reading all these posts I'm glad I bought a new recliner for my office LOL WE have them in the livingroom but, it's noisy out there. I'd never sleep, my dogs would keep me up. At least in the office I can shut the door so if everyone else is up, I can still sleep if needed.

When I first had the lap band I slept in the recliner now that I'm going with the bypass I let my husband know I may be sleeping on the recliner.

I slept in my stomach in the beginning. I did this because back in the day when I was a paramedic they used to tell us to lay the person on the injured side because the pressure relieves the pain. And sure enough I slept like a baby! No pain or nothing til I rolled over. As long a I was flat on my stomach I was fine...just the rolling over part that was awful
