Day 3.

I started sleeping in a bed about a week and a half after surgery, but I would try to sleep on my side. I would wake up on my stomach but it wasn't that comfortable.

By week three I was sleeping like a baby.

Im 8 days out. Tried to sleep on my belly last night. Im not there yet. Alot of pain when using the muscles to move. Looking forward to it though.

I'm 8 days postop and was finally able to sleep on my sides last night, after having my drain removed yesterday. After a week of sleeping on my back, and I am Not a back sleeper, I was so grateful to sleep on my side. Haven't been brave enough to try the tummy yet!!

I'm a belly sleeper and I'm 4 weeks out and I can't do it. I had some complications plus hernia surgery so maybe it's just me. I can get onto my sides now, but sometimes going from side to back still hurts me.

Gosh I dont even remember, but I think at 8weeks you should be able and have no problems with it.

I was sleeping on my belly the same night as surgery. I really felt that it helped me to break up the gas. I had surgery 6/28, and I have had no problem belly sleeping.< /p>

I honestly thought my gallbladder surgery (last year) was less invasive than the sleeve, but it took me almost a week before I could sleep on my side and almost two before I was on my stomach.

I slept on my stomach in the hospital... It was the easiest way to ease the pain...

I had a 23 hour hospital stay and I slept on my stomach the day I came home when I napped like all day! No problems stomach-sleeping ever since.

And I slept on my side with pillows propped behind me in the hospital... relieved a lot of pain for me too.

I started sleeping on my stomach again about 2 weeks after surgery.

I'm 4 weeks out today. I started sleeping on my side within 3 or 4 days. Several days after that I was on my belly. Then, last Wednesday I started back to work. I had an exacerbation of extreme pain and am now back to sleeping on my back. Even sleeping on my side isn't comfortable. I so cannot wait to get back to belly sleeping. I miss it!
