I am a side sleeper and had problems sleeping on my back after the surgery. At 6 weeks i managed to sleep on my side and boy, what a difference. I slept like a baby.

Congratulations on the surgery !!

I had trouble sleeping too. My doc recommend allergy meds that help me. along with melatonin. that worked for me.

I recommend a nice fuzzy body pillow from Walmart. It's the best investment I've made. It's so long so you can use it as a pillow but use the rest as back support or put it in front and use it between your legs- it's so comfortable

Side sleeper here too. Before I go to sleep I'd put my legs up on the wall for about 10 minutes. Then put a pillow under my legs while I sleep.

I just had surgery on the 8th and I'm having the same problem sleeping. Someone suggested sleeping in a chair with an ottoman I'm going to try that tonight. I'm a side sleeper as well

Side sleeper here. Surgery 11/8. Been sleeping well in a recliner with my body pillow. The bed gives me horrible gas pains.

Luckily I haven't had gas. My Dr said he didn't have to use a lot on me

You are sooooooo lucky. That gas pain was the worst.

Congratulations! Had my surgery 11/2/16 and had some trouble sleeping also. I used a heating pad, helped me relax and I also put a small pillow on my left side

Wearing an abdominal binder to bed really helped me sleep on my side.

Hi all, 7 days post op surgery date 3/11/16. I'm a side sleeper, had slept on the sofa when I came home from hospital and found it very difficult to get a good night's sleep. Tonight I'm going to try and sleep in my daughter's bed as my bed is too high and see how that goes. Xx
