    Random question, I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow and have still not laid down flat. I still have 3 pillows propping me up, which is fine. Is it okay to lay flat now? I only ask as I am slowly getting back to the gym and wondered if I could do sit ups! The paranoid me keeps thinking if I lay down flat on my back the implants might move?!?! Thanks! x

    i got told you only have to sleep upright for 7-10 days so you should be ok! it all depends how you feel, youll no if your ready, i find it uncomfortable now lying completely flat and im 7 weeks post op i just sleep on my side which is fine! i wouldnt start back at the gym! and i deffo wouldnt do sit ups yet! i have only just started doing all that and im past 6 weeks, its not worth the risk! x

    When I say gym, I am literally only walking on an incline on the treadmill and doing some lunges and squats, nothing exciting!! I just needed to do something and I feel okay. I think I will stay as I am and not risk any sit ups! x
