Sleeping on your front? EVER?

Hiya girlys- just a quick question

for those who have had ba, just wondering how long after your op can u sleep face down? and does it hurt? its just thats the only way i fall asleep usually… Just thinking if my sleeping pattern will change after the ba, and if so forever??

thanks so much xxx

hi im 8days into my ba,, and my sleep pattern has changed so much it seems like a thing of the past the tablets you have after really knock you out but when there gone it is hard to get comfertable.. im a little like yourself and like to sleep on my front but honestly dont see that happening any time soon as you must sleep propt up for atleast a week to help with the swelling!! someone told me that after a month or so she was able to lay on her side/stomache but found it painfull in the morning.

hope this helps

hi i also sleep on my front, well i did before my ba, im now 9 days post op.. last night was the first night i could lie down properly, i did not sleep well, maybe its just the adjustment.. i do not get comfy on my back, will have to see how it goes..x

Hi, I’m 4 weeks post op and can now actually sleep on my front as long as I rest the top part of my chest on the pillow. I can sleep on my side and have no pain in the morning at all now. It’s just uncomfortable for the first couple of weeks that’s all xx

thats so good to hear!! Am dreading not being able to sleep on my side xx

Ahh Sara, it must be getting close for you now!! Good luck! You’ll be able to sleep on your side eventually. The first few nights are a bit uncomfortable but you’ll quickly adjust. After a couple of weeks sleeping on your side prob won’t be a problem. I’m fine now xx

yes it is gettin close, next wed hun!!! just read one of your other posts about how you felt before ur op etc…i’m feeling the same, gettin so anxious already, all the what if’s and should i’s are kicking in now…so many mixed emotions now…am still excited just all the nerves kicking in x x

Wow, you’ve only got like 6 days! :bigsmile: you know, surgery is a big deal, we don’t do it because its an easy decision we do it beause we want to finally feel good about our bodies, some people just don’t get that! You will have lots of negative and anxious thoughts but it is perfectly normal! xx

yes exactly…i know how i feel deep down and hopefully that is all going to change, i cant wait for that feeling! this time next week it will all be over, i do just want it over with now, have been so excited and i still am but i know how nervy i will be over the next few days and i want that part over with lol xx

sara, i cant believe yours is on wednesday! im so jealous, wish mine was! haha :bigsmile: i know exactly what you mean!! time is going SOOO SLOWWW! i just want mine over with too now 😐 xxx

i really thought this week would drag but god its flying by hun!! i do want it over with now, dont like the build up…i’ll be a nervous wreck come wednesday!! haha
