PJkitty 139 Posted August 21, 2013 I just had my surgery yesterday morning and I was wondering how long it was before any of u were able to sleep comfortably? The only real pain I have is on the left side where my port is and when gas is moving thru my system but I can't lay down to sleep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the port discomfort is getting a little easier day by day. And plus I think that your so aware the port is there you tend to be extra careful. It will ease day by day. I lie on my back and my right side with a pillow tucked under my tummy. Hope it gets better as the days go by for you x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites HotButterFly 981 Posted August 21, 2013 Yep! I also use a small pillow under my noticeably smaller tummy and I'm four and a half weeks out. Exactly one week post I felt I started slightly sleeping better, by the 12-13th day I still had port pain, but I was able to get in and out of bed easier, as well as sleep better. FEEL BETTER SOON!

One due to the overall pain and gas and 2 because Im a belly sleeper and I was sleeping in positions I was not normally accustomed to. Be sure to sleep with a heating pad, maybe use a body pillow to ease ab pains etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Create an account or sign in to comment You need to be a member in order to leave a comment Create an account Sign up for a new account in our community.
