RissyRoe 25 Posted August 3, 2012 I'm 4 days post-op and I'm just starting to lay on my right side. If I didn't have gas pain I'd be laying on my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully I can start laying on my side as soon As you. So hard laying on my back that all i do is get up and walk around my house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RissyRoe 25 Posted August 3, 2012 The first two days I had the advantage of the hospital bed which can position you in different degrees but once I got home I found it difficult to find a comfortable position. I have such horrible gas pains still that I can't get much sleep. Definitely better every day though, up until yesterday I even put pressure on my sides.
