I am a side sleeper. It has been almost a week since my surgery. Will I no longer be able to sleep on my side.

I was able to sleep on my side the day of surgery.. If its because of pain it should be gone soon.. I'm 9 days post op and pain is basically all gone

I'm a belly sleeper and I think I slept on my side after two weeks, and gradually rotated to my belly a little bit each day after that. Use pillows to make yourself comfortable in the meantime.

I slept on my side "spooning" a body pillow as soon as I was home from the hospital, try one of those

It took me about 4 weeks and I am now sleeping on my stomach and I'm 11 weeks into my Lapband surgery

I've been sleeping on my side since the beginning. Guess it just depends on you. If you try it and its uncomfortable, dont do it, otherwise it shouldnt hurt.

The bad news is you can never sleep on your side again.....

The good news is, I'm just kidding!!!

I know, not funny, ok seriously in time you will be back to side sleeping. Give your body time to heal. I know it is frustrating! I'm a stomach sleeper & I kept trying to lay on my stomach, but no way was that happening. took about 3-4 weeks before I could get back to sleeping on my stomach.

Okay thanks. I tried last night. No luck. I felt like an alien was pulling from my belly..

When will this site be fixed and not do odd things all the time... I only posted my response one time.

i am a stomach sleeper and the pain meds knocked me out the first night but the second i slept on my side with a pillow against my stomach and that worked very well. The weird feeling of something coming out of your stomach goes away in about a week or two depending how fast you are healing

I'm glad it's not just me. This is a great way to describe it to someone who doesn't know the pain we're talking about. Hoping you find relief soon!
