When can we sleep on our sides and stomach

It varies for everyone. Some people can sleep on their sides/stomach in a few days. It took me nearly two months. Unfortunately, the answer to most questions can never be definitive. Learn to hear "it depends" quite a bit.

Okay thank you

I trained myself to sleep on my side long ago because of a compressed disk. Use a pillow between your knees. Practice ahead of time.

Was somewhere between 6-8 weeks for me but as stated above everyone is different.

I'm also struggling with sleeping. I'm 2.5 weeks out from surgery and I can just now barely sleep on one side but I'm a stomach sleeper so I think I still have a week or 2 to go before I can really sleep comfortably. I figured I would have this problem but I would've never guessed it would take so long to heal.

I'm sure its different for everyone. For me it was almost two weeks of sleeping in a recliner before I didn't feel pressure on my incisions when laying flat

I slept on my side as soon as I got home from hospital which was day 4, but I had a pillow that I had to prob my belly on so that it didn't feel like anything was pulling. I'm 2.5 weeks out now and I still have my pillow handy.

I slept on my side starting the first night after surgery. Couldn't sleep on my belly till about 3 weeks. I had no pain, it's just I felt so bloated.

Slept on my side about 1 week out with a pillow under my stomach.. no later than 2 weeks I have been back to belly sleeping ever since.
