Comfortable sleeping position

[Jaz25 10]

I'm 5 days post op and have been sleeping on back since my sleeve but tonight I just can't get comfortable and I'm extremely tired. So I'm going to attempt to sleep on my side with the body pillow I had from my pregnancy and see how this works tonight. If I don't get sleep I feel myself becoming very aggravated

Oh my gosh....I was sooooo like you when I wanted to sleep....I usually slept on my belly and because of a shoulder surgery I sleep with my arm flung over a body pillow. I slept with a foam wedge with the pillows propped up under one side, right side because of the right arm, that way my upper back at arm was supported and I was able to be kind of on my side too. My insicions on my left side hurt for quite a while so that being said it has been little by little to be able to get almost back to where I was before. My surgery was in May '14....I know it's frustrating but give it time....

Good luck....

It has been 29 days since my surgery and I still can't sleep comfortably on my sides.

I was in about the end of August for mine about 3months or so before I could sleep for a while not all night on my side. I find now is better but it seems like the stars have to be in alignment to be comfortable all night long on my side and it's been 4 months....Give it time....I got frustrated with it because I have a bad shoulder too and need to have it propped up or flung over a body pillow and I'm a belly sleeper. But it seems I still have to be careful and like I said get everything lined up right and comfortable. I think some nights I just get wore out readjusting things and I go to sleep.

Good Luck

Last night was the worst night. I couldn't sleep at all I just want this recovery process to be over with already.
