BEST WAY TO GET OUT OF A REGULAR BED AFTER SURGERY
I need some help. What is the best way to get out of bed after sleeve surgery. I never thought about it until tonight right now as I am about to go to bed. It was easier to get out of the hospital bed because they sit you up and you can wriggle out easy enough. What about my regular bed at home. Ahhhhhhgggg....

Call 15 year old son, say "give me your hand" and have him pull me up. OK LOL... that wasn't always available
Put small pillow on stomach. Put one hand square in the middle behind your back, put the other across your pillow/belly. Push on the pillow and push yourself up with other hand.
You want to put your legs off the side of the bed FIRST. Do not attempt to sit up and move legs, too much muscle use. Swing the legs off the side, then do the trick.
then put your feet on the floor, put a pillow against your stomach for support and lift up
or have a handsome husband let you wrap your arms around his neck and let him help you up.

Whichever side you need to roll to , to get out and becasue your stomach mucsles are sore you need to use your arms to push yourself to a sitting position. And viola you are up!!!hope this helps. I didn't have a recliner so that is how I had to do it!
