First of many stupid questions...so, here goes

Will someone please tell me if and when I can sleep on my stomach again????? I had my surgery 4/29 and I so hate sleeping on my back! I have slept face down, flat on my stomach all my life and this sleeping arrangement is the only problem that I have had since my surgery. Someone please, I'm so scared I'm gonna flip and roll over in my sleep to my stomach and hurt something that I hardly sleep at all. Help!

girl I totally hear ya-Im 8 days postop and cant wait to be able to sleep back on my stomach-Im midway over now-I can lean to the right with a pillow propping me partially-the left size port incision hurts too bad still.i would imagine a few more weeks.

Yep. You should be able to sleep on your stomach again. I can, but when I'm having a period I noticed that my port area gets a little tender sometimes; so you may want to avoid sleeping on your stomach if that becomes an issue for you. Otherwise it should be fine.

I am a die hard stomach sleeper. If I sleep on my back, I snore. I was able to sleep on my stomach about 8 days post op with the help of a body pillow. Get one from any department store or Walmart.< /p>

Yep, I pillow up but fall asleep on my tummy fine now at 4 weeks...just started this week sometime. I have a "butt pillow". It's an old nasty flat pillow I put an old unmatched pillowcase on so it's "distinctive", and it floats around under the covers. This is the pillow I tuck between my legs when side sleeping...a habit I developed during pregnancy years ago. Works great, 'cept when you wake up and your hubby has your butt pillow under his head with his face buried in it, snoozing away....ewwww. I am certain that at some point I farted on that pillow during the night. So the butt pillow tucks under my propped up left leg and hip when I'm stomach sleeping, kind of lifts that left port side and I'm comfy!

Good luck, you will get there.
