Stomach sleepers...

Ow long post op was it until you could comfortably sleep on your side or stomach. I've never been a back sleeper, and I know this is part of why I'm not sleeping as well. Thanks!

I was sleeping on my stomach about a week after surgery

Two months before I could sleep on my side. I placed a pillow under my knees to keep me from rolling over.

Seven months out and I still can't sleep on my stomach. Acid comes up if I sleep on my stomach, without fail.

I am 10 days post op and am comfortably sleeping on my side and stomach comfortably. I think I started doing this about 2 nights ago.

One week out I was comfortable on my side and by 2 1/2 weeks out I was on my stomach.

I'm 2.5 weeks out, and it's still not completely comfy to sleep on my stomach, but it's not too bad, so I do it anyway. I seem to recall sleeping on my side fairly early out, like within the first week.
