Stomach Sleepers-How soon after surgery could you sleep on your stomach?

I am a stomach sleeper and wondering how long after surgery were others able to sleep on their stomach. I am having surgery on Tuesday, March 24th and worried that sleeping is going to be difficult for a while.

    It wasn't long for me. After 1-2 weeks I could physically lay on my stomach without pain... it was the getting on and off the stomach that hurt. Or if I was on my side hurt. After maybe 4 weeks it didn't hurt to get on or off the stomach. And by 6 weeks I didn't have ANY incision pain at the main site or anywhere else.
