Sleeping positions

[Mikibi77 0]

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?

For a little while I slept at a 45 degree angle. My recliner came in very handy

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.

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.

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.

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

That's a great idea. I already have a body pillow so I will try it tonight.

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.

I am a side sleeper and found that if I used my abdominal binder and man is it a life saver!!!

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>
