Sleeping position changes

I am wondering about my sleeping position changes. I am a chronic tummy sleeper. I can't help it. I try to sleep other positions and I wake up on my tummy and my back hurting. My husband is nervous about my "dirty hole" and poking me I told him not to worry I am more worried about the morning pain from waking up in a weird position. I thought about a body pillow to put between us for support for me. My honey loves to cuddle when I am fast asleep. hhhmmmmm Like know from all you post-ops how you have been sleeping Deborah J 123 losers

Hi Deborah! I started sleeping in my bed 2 days after I got home.... I have always slept on my tummy too. I tried to sleep on my back, but ugh, so not comfy... So I kinda modified a side sleeping with a pillow folded around my belly area to support the incisions... so far so good. I didn't sleep with pillow last night and everything was peachy this am. I do wake up often in the middle of the night and move to sleeping on my back, then to the side, back and forth (can't wait for a restful night sleep )... I hope this info helps a little bit, lol

Well I am still sleeping in a recliner. I tried the bed but was just too uncomfortable. I hear everyone is different, so you will find your own way that makes you happy. I just cant wait to get back to my bed! Kristi

hi Kristi glad to see your surg went well. wish you a speedy recovery dave

i'm sleeping in a recliner. have not tried a bed yet just to sore still. dave

I slept in my recliner the first 8 nites home. Last night was the first in bed and it was wonderful. But I'm a side sleeper and could only sleep on the right side. Still sore on the left (that's where my drain was and it's bruised and still seeping).

I slept in my recliner part of the first night. But I have been in the bed most of the time. Flat on my back seems to be okay for now. I can't sleep on my left side for some reason, that is where the drain was but when they removed it, it's still a little sore. I do okay on my right side with a pillow for support. I can only do that for a few hours. I'm counting the days till I can sleep on my tummy again. Good luck to you and here's to a speedy recovery. Dana
