will i be able to lay om my side immediately post-op?

Well, the surgeon never called back(shock) so evidently there is no problem. I'll definitely mention it at the hospital though! Hopefully, they'll think of something...

Hmmmm....surgeon's office called today. Thought this was it! They were cancelling my surgery because of the lack of sleep study. Nope. Well they WERE calling to change my surgery time(my heart jumped up into my throat!) but they just wanted to make it earlier in the day...

2 nights after my op ive been able to sleep on my side. A pillow under your tummy helps. Good luck.

I did not have a CPAP machine either and I am a side sleeper. I was able to sleep on my side and even my stomach while still in the hospital (they said it was fine to do so). I'm normally not a stomach sleeper but for some reason it felt comfortable. Anyway, everyone is different and I hope you are able to be comfortable.
