Thank you I've walked around I just can't sleep on my back I don't know how to sleep

I also just had surgery Thursday... I'm not having problems sleeping on my back, it's the walking and gas that are bothering me! I don't remember reading that I would be in this much pain.

It does get better

Thank you any suggestion on sleeping

Try propping some pillows so your not completely on your back or side. That's what I did

I did best on my side w pillow between legs to take some pressure off my back--then my husband would put pillow behind my back as well. If pain in abdomen when trying to stand up or similar-get small firm pillow to apply pressure to abdomen for bracing when moving

I slept in the recliner! That helped, but it hurt to get up! At the 6 day mark I felt great. Good luck. Take your pain meds.

Take your pain meds right on time and you will be fine

I got a belly belt... The kind they use after abdominal surgery.... Or you can purchase a maternity belt from target. It helped me so much because I felt like I needed some support on my stomach

I know exactly how you feel. Take your pain meds. I am 3 weeks post op. I was so scared to take my pain medicine because I thought it would get stuck or that I would get nauseous. Then once I started taking as told felt much better. I could not sleep either and my dr gave me ambien and that also helped.

Pain does get better! Keep walking and take your pain medicine. Welcome to the losers bench.
