Side sleeping

I am one week & a day post-op. When will I be able to sleep on either one of my sides again?  That's my preferred way to sleep but I've been having to sleep on my back since surgery. 

That is a question for your surgeon.  If you aren't scheduled for a post op just give them a call.  

I think I was side sleeping by about 2 weeks out but you have to listen to your body. If it hurts to do it or even lie halfway on your side then hold off. I slept on my right side long before the left.

It took me over 2weeks before I could sleep on my left. My right side hurt the worst and was longer till I could sleep on that side. I was almost a month till I could sleep on my stomach and even now I am not always comfortable like I use to be. I read on here to support your stomach with pillows,it took some trial and error but I found what worked with me. Good luck and hope it gets better soon. 

My surgeon said I could do it when I felt comfortable. It took about 2-3 weeks post-op to tolerate it.

I'm one week post op today and I have been able to sleep comfortably on my side the last two nights. I think it just depends on when it becomes comfortable for you. 

I was able to after a few weeks.  I'm a side sleeper too and one morning I woke up, realized I was on my side with no pain, and cheered :)

Try putting a pillow between your legs and/or under your belly. This helps me sleep on my side without ridiculous pain resulting at my main incision site.
