I am a stomach sleeper and I'm having a very hard time sleeping on my back. I try to sleep on my right side for a bit each night but it doesn't feel very good. When were you able to resume your regular sleeping positions after surgery?

I'm a right side sleeper. I found a body pillow helped take the pressure off incisions. I got attached to the pillow so it was several weeks before I gave it up.

That was hard for me too, but give it a couple of weeks. Before I couldnt sleep on my back but now that Ive lost a lot of weight I find myself waking up on my back and sleeping better than ever.

I'm 2.5 weeks out and I couldn't imagine sleeping on my stomach right now. Luckily I am a side sleeper, so I have had no problems there.
