Sleeping sitting up? Do I have to for recovery?

Hiya,I was just wondering how long we have to sleep sitting up for, because Im day two and I’m already bored of it. Is the sleeping upright just for comfort or is it for the healing. I don’t want to hinder my recovery, but I’m finding it really difficult to stay upright, and I thin will get a much better nights sleep if I sleep laying down. Any advice? xx

they say 10 days! if ur anything like me ur fall asleep sitting up and wake up flat on ur back.. then struggle to get up lol. aparently its to help the implant sit in its pocket so id sick with it if i were u hun . u may find putting a pillow under ur bum helpful co man do u get a sore back n bum x

Thanks exactly what happens to me. It’s so annoying not being able to get a proper nights sleep and I’m taking it out on my poor boyfriend. x

10 days?! Yikes, I was told 48hrs, it’s to help with the swelling. Was on my side after 5 days. No harm done though, as all OK at 6weeks! x

I found it a nightmare too but if you haven’t got a v pillow totally do !! I had mine on jan 28th so over a month and still use it now xxx

I had my op just over a year ago and still use my v pillow, it was a godsend

I got told to sleep at 45 degrees till my 7 day post op check, to help with swelling, I am on day 5! Xx

Thanks, I spoke to my PC and the nurse…got my trusty v pillow and see how things go. Thanks again…can’t wait to get this week over with! x

i still use my v pillow from time to time and im 8 weeks but u do get used to being up right, and it can become like a cocoon to protect yourself in to prevent the bf from knocking you if his in a clingy mood lol
