    Couldn't hurt for sure. Many of us sleep reclined for a week or more and it will help you support yourself. Then once you lie down you can prop your tummy up on it so that it won't tug down on your incisions.
    Best NSV - fitting on a kid's amusement park ride with my 4 yr old grandson!
    CFIDS =Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) Also dx with post-bariatric reactive hypoglycemia; and chronic gastritis (both sleeve complications). Permanently disabled.
    Start weight 335, down to 218, up during gastritis. Have accepted there is no way to lose it with my hypoglycemia. Current weight 260. Currently doing 10 day sleeve reset and determined to get back down to my post surgical weight or close to it.

    I love my body pillow. Perfect for hugging as I don't have anyone to hug at night. And I don't have to pickup my body pillow's dirty shorts off the floor and gather up it's dirty dishes, or listen to it snore.

    Oh and it probably will help give you support to relieve pain.



    Highest weight 440 lbs. lowest weight 9.5 lbs at birth
    Date of surgery weight 340
    12 week checkup 301 BMI <50 yeah!
    Weight on birthday 3/24/48 Goal 285 would be nice.

    I came home from surgery last Sat. Could not sleep in bed at all. Had to sleep on the sofa sitting up for 4 nights before I felt comfortable to sleep in bed. Then yes I used a pillow in front of me to support my stomach as it eased the pain where the incisions where made. I would definitely recommend some extra pillows or a body pillow. Good luck.
