Just curious how long it was before you were able to sleep on your incision sites. I'm at Day 5 post RNY. My incision sites are no longer sore but I've been sleeping in a recliner as a precaution to keep from putting pressure on them. I'm told my staples will be coming out at my one week follow up, which is actually tomorrow.

How long after surgery did you wait (if at all) to return to normal sleeping?

I had my one week post-surgery follow up with the surgeon's PA today. They removed the staples and put on steri-strips (told me to leave them in place until they fall off by themselves after showering). They told me it was safe to sleep on my side, that the sutures were healed enough to be safe and it was a matter of tolerating any pain. I'm not really having any incision pain so it shouldn't be an issue.
