how long do you have to sleep propped up for?

just wondered how long before you can lie down properly and have a good nights sleep?x

I personally am still not always comfy I’m 5 weeks p.o and I could sleep on my back 3 weeks post op without agony … Still can’t sleep on my tummy comfortably though 🙁 depends on your healing and how your finding pain anyways I guess some people can like one week post op :D… Iv found it’s helped get rid of all the bloat and water though ! X

im not finding pain too bad.. not really took any painkillers as they were making it even harder for me to sleep.. ive been sleeping on settee so can stay propped up and not had a proper nights sleep just wondering when to get back into bed as scared of rolling over onto them… but i go back to work on Thursday so neeeeed a proper nights sleep ASAP!! lol x

im almost two weeks post op and i am still sleeping propped. up – for the first week and a half i had three pillows plus my v-pillow but now i only have 1-2 pillows plus my v-pillow and it feels better.
Tried sleeping on my side just to change the position a bit last night but it made my boob sore so shouldnt have really.
I have read some girls on here sleep flat 1weeks post op, so it depends on each person.

It won’t harm the boobies Hun its just comfort wise so get to your bed tonight for a good night sleep 🙂 honestly as long as u got your bra and incisions arnt open and u ain’t in pain .. Go ahead :):) wedge a v pillow between the boobs and legs 🙂

Hi hun, I slept flat from day one. The nurses told me it really made minimal difference. It was uncomfortable for a while but I thought being propped up would be much worse! I’m 3weeks post op now and my boobs had dropped after about a week and were very squishy from the same time 🙂 x
