NEED SOME ADVICE

I WAS WONDERING IF AFTER SURGERY.....DO YOU HAVE TO SLEEP ON A RECLINER? I AM THINKING OF PURCHASING ONE. SHOULD I?????? ANYONE HAD THIS ISSUE????? MY SURGERY IS GOING TO BE OPEN, I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT SLEEPING IN MY BED

I didnt have open...had lap and I found the bed in the hospital which adjusted positions to be like a recliner was much more comfortable then my bed at home....I had my surgery on 1/19 amd am just now aqble to sleep on my side. I have heard of people who have rented recliners and who have had more success sleeping then those who dont. Good luck on your operation...may God be with you

Maura, also request a recliner chair for the hospital. The beds were terrible. Request one at check in, and keep reminding everyone! I had a friend *****nted a chair at home--she had lap band and only needed it for a week. But she was glad to use it for the week! Joan F.

I had a great bariatric size bed while in the hospital and a recliner chair. When I got home I slept in the recliner we have and that helped me out for about 3 days. My hubby got me a wedge pillow for our bed and I was able to sleep using that in conjunction with my regular down pillow. I started sleeping in my bed the forth night home and it was so good. But I was very happy I had the recliner for those first few nights. Monica

I did not have a recliner. Sleeping in my own bed, though, would have been impossible. I slept on the couch with tons of pillows under , behind, beside me. I had the open surgery too. I am not sure if a recliner would have been helpful, but I would not count on sleeping in your own bed for a few weeks.

I slept in my bed with a large wedge pillow. Honestly if you have a comfy recliner that would work great.
