Just a quick question guys, did you guys sleep flat or elevated once you were released home?

I'm on day 3 and have been sleeping a bit elevated.

I have had to take over my parents stiffer bed since coming home since my tempurpedic (oh how I miss you) is just to soft.

I slept flat with no issues, however I was told if I had any issues with reflux, slight elevation would help. Thank goodness I didn't. My biggest struggle was not being able to sleep on my stomach, and just trying to turn over somewhat comfortably. Three weeks out I still have a little soreness if I twist the wrong way, but other than that it's back to normal. Congratulations on your surgery. It's definitely an adjustment, but a good one at that.

I slept in the recliner in the living room for a week. It was just more comfrotable and the doc said it would help with the gas relocation pain. One positive, it kept the cats from jumping right on top of my sutures!

I slept pretty much the same, except that I had a pillow infront of my stomach. Just in case I coughed or hubby was moving around.

The hard part was sitting up.

I realized that quickly and learned to roll to my side and push to a sitting position while my legs were hanging over the side of the bed.

I have a tempurpedic too, but mine in pretty firm. I did my post-op in a 25' RV because we were completing our house.

I slept flat on my back or either side the first 3 nights in a hotel bed and then finally back in my waterbed ....aaahhhhh. Took 2 weeks before I could sleep on my tummy cause I was just so bloated.
