I just had surgery on 5/15/13 and I have always sleep on my stomach. When were you able to sleep back on your stomach? I feel like I will sleep better and that will aid in the healing process.

I'm 4 weeks out today and for the past few days I've been laying on my stomach but not comfortable enough to sleep. I think i could of done it earlier, but i had to have emergency hernia repair 5 days after surgery and there's still a bunch of tightness from the mesh they used.

Thanks! I really hope I can cope until then. When I first came home I could not even lay in my bed. So just sleeping in my own bed has been a HUGE improvements.

It took 2-3 weeks before I could sleep comfortably on my stomach

I started sleeping on my stomach after about a week and a half. I couldn't sleep otherwise.

I'm a belly sleeper and I felt comfortable with it probably 6 days ago.

About 2 weeks

The night I had my staples taken out! It was amazing! The single best night of sleep since surgery.

I wasn't able to for over a month because of a lil complication. And now lol I don't even sleep on my tummy anymore. Crazy after years of sleeping that way now I sleep on my side or back.

As soon as my staples were out (8 days post op). I did have to be carful when I rolled over but I was happy to be back in my bed and sleep.

I slept half on my stomach with my side propped partially on a pillow the day after surgery. I was flat on my tummy in 5-6 days post-op.

Mmm bout a week and a half

Surgery was 4/25 and I still can't sleep on my stomach or side. It drives me crazy to sleep on my back but I have no choice. I try on my tummy but I'm still a little sore

I would kill to sleep on my tummy. But my fusions and and hard ware in my back won't let me.
