Mikibi77 0 Posted June 19, 2016 I was sleeved on 6/13. The pain is tolerable but I'm not able to sleep in a comfortable position. I usually sleep on my side but it hurts too much to get in that position. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Sophie74656 1,572 Posted June 19, 2016 For a little while I slept at a 45 degree angle. My recliner came in very handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikibi77 0 Posted June 19, 2016 Thanks Sophie 74656. I slept on the recliner for the first few days and it wasn't bad. I guess I will go back to that until I am in less pain lying down. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted June 19, 2016 Laying flat put pressure on my main incision and it hurt. sleeping in the recliner wasn't the most comfortable thing but it didn't cause me pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted June 19, 2016 I put a pillow here. Tucked one under there. Stuffed another between this and that. It took 6 pillow total, but when I finally got them in the right position------aaaahhhh, pure heaven!! Good luck and let us know how you finally got a good night sleep.

cindyw41 761 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm a side sleeper and I got a body pillow to alleviate the pressure/pain on my stomach. It worked great for me. You might want to give it a try Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissKay 329 Posted June 21, 2016 I'm a stomach sleeper, and for the first 5-6 nights (I was also sleeved on 6/13) I slept on my back, but I have a comfy bed. It was finally last night or the one before that I was able to finally turn on my left side comfortably. I imagine it's going to be a month or so before I can resume sleeping on my stomach.

Kaze 94 Posted June 26, 2016 Yeah, I hate sleeping on my back for extended periods of time but it is uncomfortable right now any other way. 4 days post here. I'm sure within a few weeks it'll be good...probably going to wait until the all clear at 6 weeks to try stomach sleeping.< /p> Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
