I also just had surgery Thursday... I'm not having problems sleeping on my back, it's the walking and gas that are bothering me! I don't remember reading that I would be in this much pain.

Try propping some pillows so your not completely on your back or side. That's what I did

I did best on my side w pillow between legs to take some pressure off my back--then my husband would put pillow behind my back as well. If pain in abdomen when trying to stand up or similar-get small firm pillow to apply pressure to abdomen for bracing when moving

I slept in the recliner! That helped, but it hurt to get up! At the 6 day mark I felt great. Good luck. Take your pain meds.

I got a belly belt... The kind they use after abdominal surgery.... Or you can purchase a maternity belt from target. It helped me so much because I felt like I needed some support on my stomach

I know exactly how you feel. Take your pain meds. I am 3 weeks post op. I was so scared to take my pain medicine because I thought it would get stuck or that I would get nauseous. Then once I started taking as told felt much better. I could not sleep either and my dr gave me ambien and that also helped.
