I know that I will make do somehow, but every night as my time ticks down and surgery date approaches, as I settle oh-so-comfortably onto my stomach to drift off to sleep I think, "How am I EVER going to sleep right after surgery?" I don't suppose I have to worry the first night as I'll probably be on some good stuff that will help me forget my plight, but beyond that...? The general consensus I've seen seems to be a few weeks before being able to go back to stomach sleeping.
I have tried and tried to no avail to become a back sleeper (on chiropractor's urging, mostly) but just can't do it. I have occasionally been able to sleep on my side if I've been sick or something, but that's always been a very short term thing.
What have you other stomach sleepers done to get by?
