How do you sleep post op

I haven't had my surgery yet but I remember sleeping upright in a chair for 3 nights after my gall bladder operation. I now own one of these and I love it.

I had to sleep (not happily) on my back for about three weeks,  but it was tolerable if I put a pillow under my knees.

It took just sigh of three weeks for me to be able to sleep on my side - but only one side. When I rolled over it would pull a lot (the stitched area inside as it was healing). I'm now 2 days shy of 4 weeks post op and I'm able to sleep on either side AND my stomach. It takes time and sleeping on your back is terrible but take it day by day and know it'll pass :D.

shy, not sigh! damn auto correct.

I got a lazyboy to sleep in.  Worked out great.

I slept on a recliner for about 3 weeks because it was easier to get up without bending my stomach. 

I slept in a recliner chair for the first week home.
