It was about 6 weeks for me, with the help of a body pillow. I kept a drainage tube in for 6 weeks.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

I was about 4 weeks for me but I am also a stomach sleeper so I moved to my stomach at about 6 weeks.

I love my side and had the same problem. I put a pillow under my belly and it helped- I could go on my side at about 10 days post op.

I was on my side while still in the hospital. I wanted to lay on my belly but that didn't happen. As soon as I got home I started with a position that I was half on my stomach with my leg drawn up to support my weight, and then finally was able to lay on my stomach about a week later.

What about with one of those binders some have talked about? I didn't have one, but I would imagine that would "keep things in place" better. I slept in the recliner.
