humnopnop 8 Posted November 14, 2012 I was sleeved in Las Vegas on 11/5. I naturally sleep on my stomach but haven't been able to since the surgery. With that being said I am not getting enough sleep but I do realize my stomach still needs a lot more healing. When were you able to sleep on your stomach?

Hi dear I'm new in the forum but I was on the same situation, I was sleeved on 10/22 after a week I was able to sleep on my stomach, don't worry that feeling is normal we just scare, you can try little by little. Good luck 1 humnopnop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I slept on my side and stomach night of surgery. Dr told me if I was not in pain then I could. There's a lot of cushion between my actual stomach and my skin.

shayv123 96 Posted November 14, 2012 I was sleeved on 10/24 and still can't sleep on my stomach all night. I may turn over on my stomach during my sleep, but then I start to feel the incisions and I have to sleep on my back or my side. I say listen to your body.

TheGamer 406 Posted November 14, 2012 I'm a stomach/side sleeper and I was back to sleeping as normal at about week 3. I slept in my recliner for the first 2 weeks or so. I still sleep with a pillow at my side to support my stomach, though. It just feels better. 1 humnopnop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeyBigMan 6 Posted November 14, 2012 I was sleeved on 10/24 and just got to where I can sleep for a bit on my side for the last few nights. It's not quite the same as what I really want to do (I think I do some weird twist thing, I'm really flexible) so it's not as comfortable but at least I'm not flat on my back. If I go too far over I feel my incisions pull a little, so I back off. Whatever you do, be careful; the last thing you need is to injure yourself. For example, I'm a little sore right now because I was bent over weird trying to plug something into the back of my computer at work. It kinda feels like I got punched. So now I'm sitting here at my desk leaving everything alone. lol 1 humnopnop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalipso2 25 Posted November 14, 2012 i started sleeping on my stomach about 5 days after surgery. i just made sure i got into the right position before i laid down firmly. eventually you will one day just wake up on your stomach : ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Izuri 428 Posted November 14, 2012 It took a good 1-2 weeks til I was even comfortable sleeping on my side. I don't sleep on my stomach a lot, but I would say that the first time I did after surgery was probably about 3 weeks out, and I don't think I really would have been comfortable before that. 1 humnopnop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kalimomof3 613 Posted November 14, 2012 I was sleeved on 11/7 and I have been sleeping in my stomach for the last 2 days and it actually makes me sleep better because it feels like it is holding my insides steady... Everyone is different though:) 1 humnopnop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
humnopnop 8 Posted November 15, 2012 Slept on my stomach last night. I had the best nights rest since the surgery... Don't remember waking up at all during the night. I feel rejuvenated! It's great to have input from your experiences. Thank you 2 Kalimomof3 and Iwanttobeskinny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sarahr0 66 Posted November 22, 2012 I had mine done on Wednesday... came home on Friday.... I think Monday or Tuesday.. so less then a week.. my head nurse said as long as it doesn't hurt me I am fine. until then I laid on my side where there was less of an incision and hugged a pillow. I hate sleeping on my back!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
