jpatches 0 Posted September 22, 2010 I am a side sleeper. After surgery I could not sleep on my side, but this was because it was not comfortable for me. I would try to sleep on my side, but after Inching myself on to my side I would get a feeling almost like I could feel my organs moving and putting pressure on my stomach. So, I slept on my back usually with my knees bent. It was the only way I could get comfortable and relieve some lower back pressure. I would get some sleep in whatever position feels comfortable to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
