Lol I sleep on my back with my hands under my butt. Then I'll shift legs if my tail bone hurts....

I slept on my back or right side. If I was on my side I would have a pillow pushed right up against my stomach to support it. I'm just now, at 4 weeks post op, able to sleep on my left side. The muscle around the biggest incision would hurt way too bad.

I use pillows to prop myself up or i sleep on my left side with pillows around my belly like you sleep when your pregnant.

I slept on my back for a few hours, then I slept in my recliner for a few hours for the first week. I then used pillows and put them under my stomach and laid on my side until I was healed enough to sleep on my stomach again.

I slept on my back or my side hugging a pillow.

It may be more comfortable to be in a recliner or something of the like. Something that can elevate your torso like the hospital beds do so as to relieve pressure from your stomach and back

I'm a side sleeper so I sleep on my right side with a wedge pillow on that side. I've been sleeping like that since I came home Wednesday (I had surgery Tuesday) and it's been wonderful! :-) I had bypass surgery.
