Sleeping On Stomach

[Chicago1962 125]

Pillows became my friend. Took me about three weeks to be able to sleep in any position I wanted. It's all worth it!

I slept on my stomach in the hospital the night of surgery which was 9/12. That's the only way I can sleep.< /p>

Slept on my side in the hospital (also sleeved on 12th). Nurses said it was ok. I do better on my side and it helps gas

Really tuck a pillow under your tummy and then try to kinda roll/lean on top of it. You don't want your belly to sag and the pillows will support and lift up your belly.

When I had my gallbladder out, I couldn't sleep on my stomach for a week. Once I could sleep on my stomach, I was uncomfortable for another two weeks even though it was doable.

With the sleeve, I slept on my stomach the same night as surgery. I think it helped relieve the gas.

I am a side sleeper and did that when I came home. I just used a pillow to support my belly.

Thanks everyone! I started sleeping on my side for the first time last night, with pillow support, and I slept through the night! That was a first since surgery on the 12th! Felt amazing :-)
