dominyks_mom 54 Posted December 12, 2016 It took me a few days but I was also not on any pain medications at all. I started out by using body pillows though! helped so much. I can't sleep or lay on my left side too long though. It feels really hard if I do. Sleeved 10/21/16 Sent from my SM-G935P using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
