That's awesome! It took me about a month to be able to sleep on my left side.

It is wonderful that we learn to appreciate the little things in life after the sleeve

Had surgery 6 days ago and really haven't been in much pain since day 2 or 3. Is that normal?

I must I envy your right now..Today is 5 days post-op, and I still have pain, but each day gets better and want so badly to sleep on my side!

Hahaha, I sure HOPE so! At least I can say with confidence that it's normal for you!

I had no pain with my surgery.. Just a general soreness in my abdomen.. Like doing about 500 crunches.. My sleeve surgery was my first surgery ever and honestly.. it was a piece of cake and my 3 tiny scars have completely faded!!

I had to have my gall bladder removed 9 months after my sleeve surgery and I was definitely in pain after that one!! OUCH!!!!

I was also a belly sleeper so last night was great. Also first night I slept with c pap since day before surgery. Wonder if that has anything to do with it?

It's so interesting to read the differences in pain level with this surgery. I'm 2 weeks post op today and still have pain on my lower right side. My incision there looks great and isn't sore, it's a deep down inside pain. I still can't sleep on my side and haven't even attempted my stomach. I also can't stand pants on my waist....either have to fold them down or wear a dress. My energy is zip! This has been a tough surgery for me for some reason.

I had a very easy recovery from gallbladder surgery, Lapband, and hysterectomy. Go figure!
