How long before I can sleep on my side?

[Country Girl La 0]

I usually sleep on my left side. I had sleeve surgery on 12/1. It is still to painful to lay on either side.

I've been sleeping on my right side since day 2 and on my left side since day three. It's probably just different for each person.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Surgery was 12/5 and I started side sleeping with no pain this past Saturday night. So just under a week.

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.

I'm a side sleeper and went back to side sleeping a little shy of a week post-op, but used lots of pillows to support my abdomen and back. Wasn't back to normal until about 3 weeks post.
