Sleeping issues?

[kim070682 22]

When did you start sleeping on your left side after surgery? I am a side sleeper and I usually sleep on my left side but it is still a little tender and I don't want to hurt anything in my tummy!!

I am a total belly sleeper. I was sleeved on July 22nd. I take a king pillow and nestle it to my abdomen and slightly turn to either side to get some rest.... try it, it will be a little tender, but every night gets a little less painful.

It was about two weeks for me, and I am also a side sleeper. I had one incision on the right side of my stomach that felt like a knife in my gut no matter what I did and the only position I could sleep in was sitting up on the couch for the first two weeks. It wasn't fun, but before I knew it I was back in my bed sleeping like normal.

About night 4, but I did use plows to prop comfortably.

I am a stomach sleeper and as of sat I have been able to sleep on my stomach (sleeved 7-19). The past couple of nights have been the best nights if sleep I've had in two weeks.

Side sleeper here, 3.5 weeks out of surgery. I can lay on my left side for awhile, but not more than 20 minutes. The right is a whole other story. 2 minutes on that side and I am a mess. Hurts like a bugger, and I am all out of good pain drugs, so I don't mess with it. Been mostly on my back, which I am still not used to, but it is better than laying on my side and hurting.

I alternate between my side and my stomach and I woke up on my stomach my first night home from the hospital. I would also sleep on my side with a pillow pushed up under my back so I was resting on it instead of my incision.
