Sleeping position

Can you sleep on your side after surgery? 

I could not.  It was about 2 weeks before I could lay comfortably on my side.  I slept propped up with pillows.   I have read that some people slept in a chair.

Im 3 weeks in and I sleep on my tummy with pillows under my tummy. Works for me. Good Luck.

I slept on my side in the hospital.  Never had a problem with it.  But it's all question of whether you're comfortable or not, and some people take longer.

thanks guys! so i guess it's not a matter if you "shouldn't", just a matter if it's comfortable. hope i can, cause mama's back won't like that too much!!
i go for my pre-testing monday. nov. 7 is getting CLOSE!

hey!  i don't have an answer, but i am tentively scheduled for november 7 too!

I had to wait almost four weeks before I was able to sleep in my left side, my right side was like two weeks after surgery.  Just wait and little by little you get there.

I was able to sleep on my side last night, it was the best sleep I have gotten in a weeks time.

I'm 8.5 weeks out and I still can't sleep on my side because of Acid Reflux...It's BAD!  I even bought a Wedge Pillow to prop myself up.  I hope it changes becasue I LOVE sleeping on my side not my back!

I could only sleep on my back for quite a while after surgery.
