For Those Tummy Sleepers...



Recommended Posts

When did you feel comfortable sleeping on your tummy?

I was actually wondering the same thing. I am 3 days out. New life started 9/11/12. But today i was actually able to sleep on my side in a fetal position and was quite comfortable. My doctor said it would be about a month before i should put any weight on my stomach. To make sure it's healed. Good luck.

After a week I was able to nap on my tummy for a lil while. Now at almost 4 weeks I sleep on my tummy just fine.

About week & a half.... I eased into it. I would start on my side and kinda move over to my stomach but if I felt discomfort I would go back. Until I was all good.... I'm a tummy sleeper.

Wow I had my surgery on 8/20 and I still cannot. It feels weird like if I have a lump in there. Thank you for all the responses just needed an idea!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
