allik07 29 Posted July 1, 2012 I have always been a side or a stomach sleeper. Will I ever lay like that again or will it hurt? ( this is of course after surgery! ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeani81 93 Posted July 1, 2012 It wasn't until about a month out that I could sleep on my stomach but I used a body pillow and propped myself on the side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasDy 53 Posted July 8, 2012 I was on my back for a few days then used a pillow to support my belly on my side after that. Now I wake up on my belly with no discomfort unless I try to get up too fast. - 2wks postop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasLeroy 21 Posted July 8, 2012 Had my surgery Tuesday and I was sleeping on my side last night with no discomfort. Still a little sore but feel loads better than I did on the 4th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
