It is almost 4 weeks since surgery, I cannot sleep on my stomach yet.  I can sleep on both sides now, but early on I could only sleep on my right side and back, I could not sleep on my left side at all till the last couple of nights.  Hope you will get comfortable soon.

I haven't had surgery yet. I've just done the info session and support group, and am waiting to hear from my patient advocate. I wish I had an easy chair. I think I'll have to try sleeping upright on the couch.

I'm a stomach/side sleeper.   I squish up a blanket and lay on that.   I never had to change how I sleep.  I even laid on my side in the hospital.   Now getting out of bed that was a process for the first few days.

I'm a stomach sleeper and I was able to go back to my normal position in less than two weeks.  Fortunately, the pain meds help you fall asleep in any position.  ;)

I slept in a recliner for several days before I could sleep in bed.  Side sleeping was out of the question, I slept on my back when I got into the bed.
