What side do you sleep on?



Recommended Posts

It dawned on me this morning that I typically sleep on my side. If you have had your surgery, what side did you sleep on? I have trouble staying on my back due to lower back pain. Could you / did you sleep on your side? How'd it go?

Just had surgery on Friday. Already sleeping on my stomach and both sides. Slight discomfort, nothing that keeps me from sleeping peacefully though.

Not a few days out without a lot of discomfort. A few weeks out, it got so much easier. I could sleep on my stomach and on either side. I'm a year out now and sleeping just feels like.... Normal.

I could sleep on back straight away, right side after a day and left side/tummy after a week or so.

I had surgery two weeks ago. I am a stomach/side sleeper and was worried about this. I slept for a week in a recliner on my back. At 3 days post op I decided to lay down for about 90 minutes on my left side for nap, and when I got up, I had a red/purple bruise the size of a baseball on my side. I spoke with the nurse, and she thought it was just gravity pulling the blood down to my side and not a new bleed. Thankfully I had no pain and nothing developed. She did ask me to wait a week before I laid on my side again. At a week post op I started on my right side and a few days later tried my left. I haven’t had any other problems. I have laid partly on my stomach over the last few days, and that has been fine. A body pillow has been helpful.

first day home, i was uncomfortable sitting, yet alone laying down.

i tried the first night to position myself on my side to sleep. No way jose' !

by the 3rd night i did sleep on my normal right side. wasn't terrific - but

i did it. Things improved daily. One week PO i was sleeping like a baby.

A "BIG" baby:lol:

good luck

      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.
