How long until you could sleep on your stomach?

I’m a belly sleeper and although I’ve been fine sleeping on my back I’m definitely not as comfortable and I can NOT wait to sleep normally. How long until you were comfortable sleeping on your tummy?

  • Ye0, there are moments when even a recliner doesn't seem to help! But the pain, the Core Hurt gets better after Time passes, hard to believe, but every day, in so many ways, you'll be Happy, Its Done

It took me 2 weeks and im still a little sore...but i had a umbilical hernia repair with my bariatric surgery

Not able to yet :/. 2 of my incision sites need to close up more.

I just had surgery yesterday and the spot where he pulled my stomach out, HURTS!!! I feel like there are muscles ripping and flying everywhere when I try to stand up. I want to lay on my stomach so bad ?
