    I've been sleeping on my right side since day 2 and on my left side since day three. It's probably just different for each person. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippia

  • It's been 12 days and I am starting to sleep on my left side still feel pulling on the incision a little

I usually sleep on my left side. I had sleeve surgery on 12/1. It is still to painful to lay on either side.

It took me a few days but I was also not on any pain medications at all. I started out by using body pillows though! helped so much. I can't sleep or lay on my left side too long though. It feels really hard if I do.

I can sleep on both sides and i abe been since day 3 when i got out the hospital but laying on my stomach is the most comfortable which suprised me

Today!!!!!!

I'm a side sleeper and went back to side sleeping a little shy of a week post-op, but used lots of pillows to support my abdomen and back. Wasn't back to normal until about 3 weeks post.
