Sleeping

Three days post op. sleeping on my side is the most uncomfortable feeling ever. When can I go back to laying on my stomach??

Give it another week or so. Im 5 months out and find it most comfortable to sleep on my side opposite of the band.

I went back to tummy sleeping either night 3 or 4 I just had to be careful how I got to that position. ..in other words could just flop around and end up on belly... it was actually most comfortable. .just be careful laying yourself down...good luck

I slept on my stomach last night for the first time post op (4th day post op). So I payed two pillows where my stomach and chest would be crawled on my hands and knees into the bed and SLOWLY lowered myself onto the pillows. It was completely comfortable. As for sleeping on my side, I still can't it hurts and is very uncomfortable! It feels like my incisions are stretching and will pop open (I know they won't, but it sure feels like it!). Good luck!!

I can sleep on my back & on the side opposite my port. Still have port pain so I won't be on my stomach anytime soon. I'm 5 days post op. Good luck

It's taken me 3 weeks and I can only lay on my stomach for a short time before it begins to bother me. But every day is getting better!!
