When is it safe to sleep on your side? i was wondering when everyone was ready to sleep in their side? I'm one week post op and still can't be on my side for more than 15 minutes.

Fell asleep last night on my back. Woke up to roll on my side and slept a few hours that way. It hurt rolling back but nothing excruciating and I needed that quality sleep! Just brace with a pillow. That's what I did. And I was so out of it. Almost like I was dreaming I was rolling to my side. Lol. I'm four days post-op.

I was able to sleep one hour on my side last night too. Ahh.. It was heaven and a good start. Same for me too.. No excruciating pain but just some soreness and pulling when flipping.

And last night I slept most of the night on my side. I feel great today! I sleep so much better that way. Hopefully my fellow side sleepers can get there soon.

When it feels good! It took awhile after surgery for me to lay on my side since I was a revison patient and the lapband had to be taken out.. that spot really hurt for a while. Now I sleep like a baby rolling all over the place.

I was on my side in the hospital....and already been sleeping on my stomach since Saturday night and was sleeved tues 2/11,,,

It took me closer to a month, but I had major complications after my surgery. I also found that if i put a pillow between my legs it wasn't as uncomfortable.

Whew girl!! I'm a Lap revision patient too and last night I fell asleep hard on my side for a couple of hours. I woke up very very sore on the side my port was on. I think your right about maybe us Lap people have a harder time side sleeping .

I have had a body pillow for years. I bought one after my second daughter was born in 92. I couldn't live without it! After another c-section, ankle fracture and now this-I can sleep comfortably on my side. It's so worth the investment!
