I'm 2 weeks post op and was wondering when you started to sleep on your stomach? I was planning on buying a body pilow and rest my tummy on it to help ease the pressure. What do you vets think? Can't wait to get some good

Though I'm not a stomach-sleeper, my best advice would be "whenever it feels comfortable to do so".

Well that was something I did in the hospital. I too am a tummy sleeper and used a pillow for comfort but was on my tummy days after surgery. I am not a wiggler when I sleep so I dont think I moved to cause any injury or discomfort.

My advise roll over and get a good sleep lol

I'm glad it worked out for you. I know the healing process would be much faster with a couple of hours of sleep! Thanks :)

I'm 6 days post op and have woken up on my stomach for the last three mornings lol. I'm sure it just all depends on when it's comfortable. My incisions haven't been sore at all really so out isn't been an issue.
