I'm a side sleeper, not a stomach sleeper, but I think it took a good 2-3 weeks before I could sleep on my side. Not much you can do about swelling except maybe ice packs. Swelling is pretty common after surgeries. It should go down soon..

IMHO,

Continue to take your pain meds as needed & in due time you will get better.

Congratulations and Get Well Soon 💚

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
