Hi all, in a stomach sleeper and I just got sleeved on 9/14. I'm finding it hard to sleep on my back and sides and my back aches constantly.

How long until you can or did you sleep on your stomach again?

I am not a stomach sleeper, but at six weeks out I had a spinal injection and had to lay on my stomach. Not only did it not hurt, it was easier than my other injections because I had a lot less stomach. And speaking of sleeping, one of my first victories was that one night it became apparent that my bed felt bigger and it was easier to roll over.

I am a stomach sleeper, and slept on my side the first two nights, and assumed I would have to for weeks, but I did not love it. On the third night, I was so tired I laid down without thinking on my stomach and slept comfortably. I was little panicked when I woke up that I had done that, but my incisions looked fine (well bandaged and not bleeding). After that I always slept on my stomach and all was well. I did not have significant pain after day two and was not taking pain meds after that day.

I comfortably slept on my stomach again about 4 weeks out. It was once my incision stopped being painful. For me, the incision that they pulled my stomach out through was the most painful for the longest.

I did it on night 4, by accident. I just naturally rolled over, and it didn't hurt. That was the first real sleep I had since surgery and I felt to much better afterward. The pressure of sleeping on your stomach also helps with gas.
