Side Sleeping ?

[katieTC 11]

I was advised first night to sleep/lie on my side. Being flat is very uncomfortable for me with wind in my chest but lying fully on my side is not comfortable either. I my pillows in a ^ shape so as I lie tilted to the side I have a pillow to support my back and a pillow to rest on. They cradle me and stop me moving about to much. It's painful to fidget around so I kind of just get comfy in my little nest and stay there ha xx

Fell asleep last night on my back. Woke up to roll on my side and slept a few hours that way. It hurt rolling back but nothing excruciating and I needed that quality sleep! Just brace with a pillow. That's what I did. And I was so out of it. Almost like I was dreaming I was rolling to my side. Lol. I'm four days post-op.

I was able to sleep one hour on my side last night too. Ahh.. It was heaven and a good start. Same for me too.. No excruciating pain but just some soreness and pulling when flipping.

And last night I slept most of the night on my side. I feel great today! I sleep so much better that way. Hopefully my fellow side sleepers can get there soon.

When it feels good! It took awhile after surgery for me to lay on my side since I was a revison patient and the lapband had to be taken out.. that spot really hurt for a while. Now I sleep like a baby rolling all over the place.

It took me closer to a month, but I had major complications after my surgery. I also found that if i put a pillow between my legs it wasn't as uncomfortable.

Whew girl!! I'm a Lap revision patient too and last night I fell asleep hard on my side for a couple of hours. I woke up very very sore on the side my port was on. I think your right about maybe us Lap people have a harder time side sleeping .

I have had a body pillow for years. I bought one after my second daughter was born in 92. I couldn't live without it! After another c-section, ankle fracture and now this-I can sleep comfortably on my side. It's so worth the investment!
