Sleep

So sick of sleeping on my back. When can I go back to sleeping on my belly?

      I never stopped sleeping on my side, and slept on my stomach 2 nights after surgery. If it feels ok, it's ok.

      Unless it hurts, you should be fine. You can always call your surgeon's office and get permission so your mom doesn't worry too much

      Whenever it's comfortable for you. I'm a side sleeper and it was close to two weeks before I could happily lay on my side. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Same here, I was able to sleep however I wanted.....right at first it took putting pillow right in the right spot but I was able to sleep on my side or stomach as soon as I got home from the hospital.....actually I slept on my side while in the hospital.

    Did you have an open surgery or was it by laparoscope?
