Tummy sleeper and surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

So I am getting my surgery in Nov and it dawned on me recently that i might have an issue sleeping afterwards.

So I sleep flat on my stomach always have and can't fall asleep on my back or side.

Anyone else tummy sleepers and did you all have any coping tips?

Also how long till I could safety tummy sleep?

sleeping on my stomach felt amazing on day 2. The compression really helped. I was too scared to do it before then plus I was in the hospital.

I'm a stomach sleeper and I'm about a month out and I'm finally able to sleep on my stomach for long periods of time

What I did was use a pillow to cushion my pouch and I could sleep for a little more each night.

I was a dedicated stomach sleeper my whole life and so after surgery it was about six weeks for me before I could sleep on my stomach again but now I am actually more comfortable on my back or side.

Tummy sleeper here! No problem whatsoever. If you find you do, try tucking a pillow under one side?

I had to sleep in my back for quite a few weeks but found that if I tucked a pillow under me, I could lie a bit more on my side each week. I could only lie on my left side (the side my stomach was removed) though. Trying to turn and lie on my right side felt really weird and uncomfortable.

I am nearly five months out now and can sleep on my stomach with no problems.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
