Sleeping post op!!!!

Jenna and I are both a week post op, and we was wondering how long is it until you can sleep on your side?! Any post op ladies know how long after surgery til you can do this?? xxx

Leah I reckon I’m stuck haha. Gonna have to phone my mom lmao xxx

Hi Leah I’m two weeks post op and still sleeping with v pillow on back. If you feel comfortable sleeping on your side then I’m sure you’ll be fine. It’s more for comfort being upright/on your back. I wouldn’t suggest sleeping on your front yet though lolx

I told you you’d get stuck Jenna ha!!! I was stuck the other day and had to stay there for hours until someone came home! Thanks Rachel, deffo won’t be sleeping on my front haha, will probably keep my vpillow behind me until I’m more comfortable! xxx

I’m a week post op and couldnt sleep last night and ended up slightly on my side, it was quite comfortable haha x

I was quite comfortable on my side about 12 days post op I think?! Woke a couple of times and it was an effort to swap sides but just couldn’t stand sleeping on my back!! (Used to sleep totally on my front pre op). I’m 3 1/2 week post op now and sleeping fine on my side, with no waking. I am still aware they are there when I’m trying to find my comfy position lol. I’m sure it will be better each night though. My nurse said at 1 week post op (well 8 days), if your comfortable on ur side it’s no problem xx
