I only have had one night that I could not sleep well. I think I took my Vitamins too late in the evening. I have always noticed I could not take Vitamins before bed or I slept like crap. Hope that helps you. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taoz 284 Posted July 27, 2018 I had trouble sleeping for the first month post op. I had trouble getting to sleep, and would be restless and waking several times a night. I think it was a side effect of the anaesthesia, and post surgery hormonal chaos. The only nights I had a good sleep were the couple of times I took an over the counter sleeping pill. Hopefully it will resolve for you in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarrySue 602 Posted July 27, 2018 I have always been a stomach sleeper, and it took me two months to be able to return to that. I just used a million pillow to prop myself into a reclined position on my back, and dealt with it until it passed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynisca 67 Posted July 28, 2018 I only had surgery Monday and I am waking up almost every 2 hrs at night and then fully at 4am. Can't explain why. I used to sleep on my stomach so I keep thinking that it's just even odd to sleep on my back. I just go for a walk at 4am outside and then usually I can bang out another 2hrs sleep when back. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted July 28, 2018 Invest in a long body pillow, Wal-Mart has them, suspect Target, Meijer and even Kohls might. Turn on your siden prop that upper leg up if you need to , hug that critter like it was a Teddy Bear, as the pain goes away tummy sleeping may start to return.
