I'm in my hotel room with my husband and was wondering if there's anything I can do to get comfortable for sleep. I'm normally a side sleeper, and it's super hard to get in and out of the bed. It hurts so bad.

I heard it's best to sleep in a recliner the first few days. I haven't had my surgery yet tho scheduled the 22nd lots of luck on a speedy recovery and pounds shedding fast!!

Sitting up right with pillows behind me helped me alot for the first week (3wks post). A recliner is definitely a great idea. Try it, it might help.

I slept on my back kind of hitched to one side. Used many pillows.

Post op pain meds helped me sleep also.

sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs and it really helped.

Lots of pillows behind your back and head, just prop yourself up at an angle. That's what I did, slept like a baby.

I'm 4 days post-op and used the pain medicine for sleeping. Have your husband help you get out of bed or put a chair on your side of the bed, then roll using the chair for support to sit up.
