1. When can I start sleeping on my side again? I miss it soooo much.

2. When can I sit up in bed without a quick pain near ribs?

3. When will I be able to tell the difference between hungry, full, or pee pains lol

It matters when you feel comfortable I started sleeping on my side about a week after my surgery. You could try it with a pillow below your tummy for support. The pain from sitting up went away after about a week as well for me.

The feeling of hunger came back after about 10 days. The full feeling, my doctor described to me, is going to be above your ribs, like right under your chest in the middle, instead of in your stomach. Which is kind of hard to get used to! Lol.

I tried sleeping on my side tonight caused sharp side pain near rib.... I think ill wait until sitting up doesn't have any brief discomfort. I'm currently 1 week post op, maybe you had better luck lol.

Ill keep the fullness tip in mind. Ty @@alyssadietrch
