Stomach Sleeper

I am a die hard stomach sleeper. Any suggestions on how to make stomach sleeping comfortable after sleeve surgery next week? How long before I can be back on my stomach without doing any damage? Any advice would be great!!

I am just now 2 weeks post op and can sleep on my stomach but it's still a bit uncomfortable. I say by next week I'll be as good as new.

I was able to sleep on my side, by wedging a pillow halfway under my side, and hugging another to my body. I was able to sleep more soundly that way than on my back.

I’m a side sleeper and almost two weeks this Wednesday still can’t sleep on my side yet. Stomach I imagine it’s going to be awhile

your stomach will let you know when it's ready to have weight on it. it took me about 2 weeks to be able to sleep on my side with out pain. But for the first week, I was still groggy so my back didn't care.

I was able to go half way, side with pillows but leaning toward stomach

Took me about 3 weeks. I bought a body pillow and two firm king pillows and basically made my bed into a recliner - I ran the body pillow along the back of the bed and the king pillows wedged on either side of me. It prevented me from rolling onto my (preferred) stomach-sleeping position, which was a good thing because even leaning too far to the side hurt like hell.
