Restless

Kind feeling really down! I could never sleep on my back and it hurts to much to sleep on my sides! Been almost a week! When does the pain start to go away so I can get sleep

It took me about 3 weeks. Hang in there I know that was hard for me too. All of a sudden it just felt okay to be on my side.

Hey, It took a couple weeks for me to sleep in the bed. I gave a comfy recliner I slept in. Everyday I would try to lay in the bed then one day it just quit hurting when I laid down . Hope that helps, hang in there !

I was never a back sleeper either. However, even though I go to sleep on my stomach, I often wake up on my back.

Last year, I had my gallbladder removed and had a difficult recover because I am over sensitive to pain and pain meds don't work for me. Also, a week after the gallbladder removal, I had a small skin cancer removed on my chest which added more pain. I learned pretty quickly to sleep on my back and can even still do it now!

If you don't take sleep meds, maybe try a Benadryl or 2 to make you sleepy enough to sleep in any position!

I can sleep on my sides with careful turning. I am tired of sleeping on my back as well. Two of my incisions are sensitive so turning to my sides needs to be done carefully. With time things will be better that's what I keep telling myself ????

I'm a stomach sleeper myself, and I'm still too sore to go back to my stomach. I feel your pain! For now, I just have to tough it on my side and back, which sucks! But I've had other abdominal surgeries (gallbladder and ovarian cyst) and am used to the annoyance, LOL. It will be over soon!

4 weeks out and I'm sleeping on my sides. Awesome!

2 weeks out & can only do my sides. I have managed to roll to tummy once but didn't last long.

I'm a side sleeper too & the first couple nights, I couldn't sleep in any position! I walked around the house trying the couches, the chairs, etc...but by the 4th night, I took an additional pillow to bed with me & propped my tummy on it & all was well in my world! Try leaning your tummy on a pillow ~ worked for me!

I get ya! I'm thankful I've been able to sleep on my side from the first night home. Unfortunately in my sleep I guard myself and have a constant back ache from lack of movement at night.
