I'm two weeks out and I sleep on my belly with a very soft pillo between my belly and the mattress. The first time I did this, some of the Best Sleep I've ever had ( since surgery). My stomach hasn't bothered me at all since sleep partially on my belly. It feels so good!!! :;

I am 10 days out and I cannot WAIT to start sleeping on my stomach again! I have tried to arrange pillows under my leg/hip/stomach but it still hurts too much. I can't even lay on my side I am too sore! Anytime I go to lay on my stomach I feel like my sleeve is swimming around inside of me. Is this normal? The feeling that it's not attached to anything?

I actually slept on my side while still in the hospital. It was a bit uncomfortable. Since I've been home (6/15) I just tried a little each night with a pillow underneath. One night I had slight reflux which may have been caused by eating to close to bedtime, but I haven't had any issues since. Last night full on stomach sleeping, no extra pillow. I am more aware when I roll and twist during the night though because the incision sites are still a little tender. Do what feels comfortable.

I'm 5 weeks out and just started to sleep on my stomach. I was too scared to sleep on my stomach any earlier because I was afraid the weight of my body would pop the stitches inside open or something, I know kind of silly, but it felt like it was too much pressure inside when I did.

I slept halfway on my stomach (half on a pillow, half off) in the hospital! As my doctor says "if it hurts, don't do it". If it doesn't bother you, I see no reason why you shouldn't. If it worries you then wait till either your stitches are out or your incisions healed before.

I slept in a, recliner for my most months it made a huge difference. Probably by month two you won't be as sore
