I will be 4 wks tomorrow and I am a belly sleeper. I actually slept on my belly within a week. I had to be very careful but I was able to do it. I still have bruises on my belly but the incisions are almost healed all the way. The bigger incision still has a scab but it's getting there. I started with sleeping on my side and then woke up on my stomach. I am still careful getting up and doing my cleaning around the house. I don't want or need a hernia. Last week I came back to work and felt FABULOUS!!! I too stayed active the third week in prep for the work week. It definitely helped... Good luck with sleeping and getting back to the swing of things! Stay blessed!

I am ten days out from surgery(10/25) and I am down 21 pounds, I feel great. I can lay on my stomach when up and aware but a sudden move in that position still feels sore. I had laparoscopic surgery. Otherwise, I am back at work already (desk job), getting up to walk around often and feel like I am making great progress.

Keep pushing through. You will be fine in no time!!!

hello I am also ten days out.

Can you suggest any protien that you like so far

Now I am 4 weeks out and I am still not able to sleep on my tummy. I talked to my dr. and he said that it's becauseI had the band removed then 5 weeks later had the sleeve done with the open procedure. He said 8-10 weeks for tummy sleeping since the cut is from my belly button to bra line.

I am in high hopes that this will get better FAST I am struggling keeping active since I am getting so tired during the day from waking up all the time.

Hope you guys are doing good!
