I started sleeping on my stomach about week 1 maybe even 2, it all depends on when YOU physically can

I tried laying on my stomach at week 1 and when I woke up I was in pain, so I put a pillow under my stomach and it was ok at week 2

I think it all depends on you and what you can tolerate. I could finally sleep on my stomach about 4 wks post op. If it hurts too much I would not do it.

I am two weeks out from surgery and have finally been able to sleep on my stomach. I still can't sleep on my side yet, it's still tender. But if I lay just right I can get by on my stomach now. Surgery Date 9/25/12

you might try a body pillow and kinda lay on it half on your side and half on your stomach. This may give you the comfy support you need for your belly and side. I am a side sleeper but often find myself sleepig kinda half way with the use of the body pillow.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
