Able to sleep in their bed right after surgery?

I had no problems. I sleep with just one pillow under head but found having one under knees helped. Had to sleep on back as could not tolerate sides.

I had an elaborate system of pillows, both to prop me up, and to keep me from rolling over!! 

I found that my body got sore from lying so still, and I was always stiff getting up each morning. as time went on, I was able to 'wean' myself one pillow at a time until I was down to regular pillow, and a body pillow so I could lay on my side, with my leg thrown over the pillow to relieve the pressure from my tummy. 

Ask the hotel to put a recliner in your room.  Most hotels can accomodate your request.

After my first surgery I could only sleep in a recliner, I didn't have to stay in town any time after being discharged from the hospital. It took me 2 weeks to get back into bed.

After the second surgery I could not sleep in bed again. I had to stay at a hotel for several nights. My mom propped up a folding bed on a wing chair and I slept there, sometimes moving to the chair in the middle of the night.

For the final surgery I was able to sleep in bed after being discharged 2 days after surgery with lots of pillows.

I have found that pain medications sometimes contribute to sleeplessness, restless leg syndrome after surgery, and just the all arounnd feeling where you can't get comfortable. You may want to check that out if you find it difficult to sleep.

I was able to sleep in my bed, but not on my side. Strategic pillows are a good thing, under the knees on your back, between the knees and under the belly kind of half on the side, one between the breasts to lift the top one and stop from tugging on incision sites. If you are in a hotel, remember you can ask for extra pillows if you need them.
