How long before i can sleep on my back instead of sat up

How long does it take before you are able to sleep on your back properly. Iv spent the last 4 nights having to sleep sat upright, driving me mad !!!!

Its when you feel comfortable enough hun I started on day 5 and by day 14 I was sleepin on my sides, they only advise you to lie upright so your not in any pain trying to get up in the morning 🙂 xx

Thanks Chelsie, to much pain at the moment, looks like a few more nights sat up : (

i was in no pain what so ever just aching did hurt a tiny bit i sat up for the first 3 nights then lay down but had few pillows im 2 week on monday and im already on my side x

Are any of you sharing a bed? My boyfriends on the settee atm after spending the week with my mum & her also sleeping on the settee too nervous to knock or hit me ( he’s very active & has elbowed, scratched & even rolled onto me in the past) just wondering how you got on? I’m 12 days post op & still elevated on my back just want to stop being a nuisance 🙁 xx

I slept on my back from day one, had 2 BA’s. Was fine both times, hurt’s a little in the morning when you try to sit up – but my fiance would push me slowly up from my back. My surgeon said it didn’t matter how I slept (as long as it’s not on your side etc), as long as I was comfortable. I had a v pillow so just slept in that. x

Just in bed and the v pillow is helping big time! X

I had my dressings of today and am now able to almost lye on my back, I think the dressings an make u feel very tight and almost too scared to move as mine felt like a ripping sensation, luckily all was well underneath! V pillows are lovely

I’m 3weeks and one day. Slept on my back at day 5 or six. Was sleeping in my side by day 10 I think. Still sleeping on my sides. Too scared to try completely on my front, but I’m sure that day will come. My V cushio. Has helped so much. I love it.
I have slept on my own for 3weeks. When I stayed at my boyfriends cos he’s got a single bed he slept on the floor as I didn’t want to e knocked. Xx
