Lying on my side 3 weeks post op

Hi All
I am 3 weeks post op on Thursday – my nurse told me last thursday that I could stop sleeping upright.
I just wondered if this means that if comfortable that I can sleep a little bit on my side.

I went out Friday night and ended up a bit worse for wear and rolled over on my side quite a bit…was a bit uncomfortable but okay – I just wanted to check I am allowed to do this and am not gonna squash anything?!!!

Hi Leanne,

Im 2wks post op on thursday and I went to see the nurse Friday. I asked the same question and she said it is fine to lie however you are comfortable (except of course on your front) x

thanks fairy thats great news…just didnt want to end up lopsided if i squashed one hahaha

hi Leanne,
I always slept on my side before my ba, so couldn’t wait to go back on my side afterwards too. Tried at 3 weeks, but just didn’t feel comfortable, but by the time i was 4 weeks it felt fine. I just kept alternating sides during the night. I’m sure you’ll be fine, as long as you feel comfortable hun xx

Hiya Leanne i sleep’t on my side for the first time last night felt a bit achey this morning but other than that felt pretty comfortable i just snuggled into my v-pillow. Leanne xxx

Dear Leanne,

where I had my ba done – in Polish Artplastica – they told me that for 2 -3 weeks the best sleeping position would be on my back, then you can try a bit on your sides…but don’t worry you’ll get used to it.

thanks all, its just when it hurts in the morning am worried have done some damage – am forgetting am only 3 weeks post op on thursday hahah xxx
