nursejenny07 401 Posted July 31, 2014 Ow long post op was it until you could comfortably sleep on your side or stomach. I've never been a back sleeper, and I know this is part of why I'm not sleeping as well. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob2013 326 Posted July 31, 2014 Two months before I could sleep on my side. I placed a pillow under my knees to keep me from rolling over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvrsax 301 Posted July 31, 2014 Seven months out and I still can't sleep on my stomach. Acid comes up if I sleep on my stomach, without fail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cairobat 52 Posted July 31, 2014 I'm 2.5 weeks out, and it's still not completely comfy to sleep on my stomach, but it's not too bad, so I do it anyway. I seem to recall sleeping on my side fairly early out, like within the first week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
