When can I start sleeping on my side

I am 4 days post op?

X

I was able too about 11days post opp xx

I was about 10days post op to sleep on my right side,I’m 19days post op nw and still can’t sleep on my left xx

I’m 4 wks post op and only just managed to start sleeping on my right side in past week but it makes my left boob ache so still on my back lol xx

Sleeping upright is giving me such a bad back I keep waking up with a horrid headache and i am only 4 days post op too! x

Sooooo not looking forward to this. Do you have a v-pillow? xx

Yea I have a V pillow but after like 4 nights it just gets irritating. Trust me!!! X

How come you’ve gotta sleep upright?

hi rachel it helps reduce swelling its not quite upright its at a 45 degree angel xx

Sounds uncomfortable:S

Where do you get the pillows from?

Mine app is April 5th …so excited but seems theres so much to do and make sure is sorted for aftercare…

you can pick them up from argos,ebay,amazon most places do them they only a bout £10 max and they are really comfy i never had any problem sleeping xx

I just bought mine from argos looks sooooo comfy was abou £9 x

You have to sleep up right for the first 14 days, so the swelling goes down.

To be fair, even if u tried to sleep on your side before then it’s unxomfortable. Even after 14 days it might be uncomfortable, so whenever it starts feeling comfortable to sleep on your side will be a sign that it’s ok.. Xx

Personally I waited till the 14 day Mark and when I could eventually lie on my side, I popped a pair of roled up fluffy socks in-between my boobs in a sports bra. I did this because I found it hurt in between my boobs when I lay on my side and I ready somewhere on here that they did it too! ( appologies for grammar as I’m using my phone)

Hope this helps x x x x x
