Sleeping on Stomach Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

I normally sleep on my stomach so its been hard to sleep on my back. I just had surgery today, but I was wondering if anyone has problems sleeping on their stomach.

I'm a tummy sleeper too and I still can't do it 10 days after surgery. The port side is where you'll feel the pain. I do sleep on my side but I have to carefully place a couple of pillows to feel comfy. One bad thing never fails for me, once I'm comfy I have to go to the bathroom :wink2:

I wasn't brave enough to try to sleep on my stomach until probably a month after my surgery lol. But when I did there was no discomfort at all :wink2:

Thanks for the help! I think I will try in a couple of days. My port site is not sore, and I am feeling good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
