    So I’m 7 weeks post op on Wednesday coming. My nurse never told me if I could sleep lying down yet but she said I had to wear my sports bra every night for a year for support and I can have proooee showers/baths now ect…but I’m really starting to miss lying down to sleep. Anyone know when I can?

    Hey girls! My nurse told me to sleep propped up for the full 6 weeks but I don’t think my back can take anymore!! How did you get on sleeping flat? As long as we don’t sleep on our side and squash them I think that’s ok to sleep flat isn’t it? Xx

    Hi Ladies I went for my 1 week lost op yesterday and asked my nurse the same question. I was told I have so sleep upright for 6 WEEKS!!!
    I’m sure before the surgery I was told 2 weeks but the nurse said definitely not.
    when I asked why she said because I have overs there’s s higher chance that the implants can dislodge and end up under my armpits!!!
    I asked if it made a difference sleeping on my side with extra pillows…. unfortunately not ????
    This sucks because I’m not getting more than 4 hours sleep a night sleeping sitting up but am definitely not gonns chance lying flat before I get the all clear!
    God bless my poor back

    I was told 6 weeks too, think that’s a bit over the top. Two weeks understandable but 6 weeks come on!!!! Worst six weeks of my life haha. Worth it though but it really is a pain in the arse! Xxxxxx
