It took me like 5 days before I could sleep on my side. It was painful but i just had to as I'm a side sleeper as well.

I hate sleeping on my back! I started trying to sleep on my side about a week or so out. I used a body pillow to kinda prop my stomach against so I wouldn't roll over to my belly. I'm 8 weeks out and sleep on my side most of the time. I want to go back to my belly, but I'm paranoid that I will hurt something. I can't wait to get back to my stomach.

Try tucking pillows behind your left part of your back so your leaning to your right a little. Don't try to lean on left at all yet. You will have to tuck a small pillow under your tummy on right side at the same time, it will take pressure off the tummy

I will be sleeping in the recliner. It took me 3 weeks after gall bladder to be able to lay on my stomach. UGH! I hate laying flat.

I'm at 11 days now and I woke up almost all the way on my stomach today. I was on top of a body pillow on my right side so that helped. I bought a body pillow on a wim as line of defense against my very clingy dogs and I'm super thankful I did. It's been a life saver.

      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.
