I was sleeved on June 28 & am also a stomach sleeper. From June 28 all the way to July 27 I slept in a recliner chair @ almost a 90° angle!!! It was horrible. I wanted so badly to sleep in my bad & tried a few times but every time I tried I put myself in excruciating pain. I mean even to lay in my bed on my side was terrible. I say take it easy & try with caution.
