When were you able to sleep confortably in your bed?

Try sleeping on your side with a plump pillow pressed against and slightly under your belly so it supports it. I went home from the hospital to sleeping on both sides. I'm a week post op.

I have pillows on each side of me, and hope each night they'll help. Some nights they do, some they don't.

I could sleep on my right side by like day 8 and soon my left. you should be able to sleep on your back now.

How is it that everyone has a recliner?! Am I totally screwed that I don't have one? Now I'm really worried I won't be able to sleep after surgery since I'm definitely not a back sleeper. Maybe I can find one of those pillows with arms on Amazon?

I slept on my couch. Granted, I do have an awesome sectional, so I just propped some pillows in the corner send laid there. But it would been just as comfy on a normal couch. I just used like 3 or so pillows to be propped up a bit. I couldn't lay flat for at least 4 weeks. Although I'm still having pain and sleep on my x ouch once in a while.

I live in a super small apartment, so all I have is my bed or desk chair... oy vey.

I had planned on staying at my dad's. But his couch was too low to the ground, his bed wouldn't work... The only place I had to sit was a chair at the kitchen table. I did manage to snooze there for the day I came home from the hospital. If you can, just prop yourself up on lots of pillows behind you, and maybe some next to you too.

I sleep both sides back and on my stomach that helped with the gas I think !! Sorry oh ya I was done 4/2

I'm 7 weeks out and still have issues sleeping on my sides. Blah. I have lidocaine Patches that help, but not 100%

I could NOT wait to get home to my own bed. Since 2 days post op (my first night home) I've slept like a baby and was able to sleep on my side with a pillow propped up on my back. It felt weird with it under my belly, but when I put it behind me it was a whole new story. Felt so good to sleep on my side and to be out of the hospital bed:) I'm hoping you'll get to experience the joys of side sleeping again soon! Good luck!
