I wan't given any guidelines on that, but I'm in my 6th week post op and I still sleep with a pillow wedge as I call it. lol! I assume it will be months until I try sleeping flat. I'm too scared of the acid pain.

I was on my side the day after. The nurse said it was ok. Never had any guidelines.

I wasn't given any guidelines on that but I found it uncomfortable to lay in any other position for a while. But then again I was a back sleeper anyway.

I am a total side sleeper and was sleeping that way the night after surgery.

The day after surgery I was sleeping on my side. the nurse said as long as it didn't cause me pain it was fine. It was a little sore getting into position, but once I was settled it felt really good. I brought a pillow from home that I hugged against my tummy.

You can sleep in what ever position is comfortable. If your incision hurts when you roll side to side (mine killed) try a compression tank top. Buy a cheap one. Target has them up to size 2X in the woman's underwear dept. You can wrap you abdomen with a couple of 4-5" wide ace bandages. the band's need to be completely flat and just tight enough to stop the incision pain. Someone will need to help you wrap it. The first time the medical assistant in your surgeons office doing it, if it's close by would be a good choice.

Took me about a week to feel ok on my side.

I'm a totally picky, crazy side/tummy angle sleeper. Dozed on and off on my side night of surgery (mostly stayed up and walked the halls). I had best luck first few nights at home wedges on my side in a recliner with pillows. About one week out, was able to sleep as I normally would.

I'm on day 7 and From day 5, I could sleep on my tummy, back, side whichever as I feel no pain nor discomfort whatsoever.

As soon as it's comfortable you can sleep on your side or tummy. It took me about 6 days until I could sleep on my stomach comfortably.
