Always best to follow your chosen surgeon's advise. In my patients I allow "normal" sleeping after 3 weeks.
For the first few weeks or so following a tummy tuck, it is often recommended that you sleep in a slightly flexed position in order to decrease tension on your incision. This will increase the odds of healing without problems and with a better scar. You may be able to sleep on your side in a similar flexed position not too long after surgery. You should contact your plastic surgeon to obtain his/her instructions on this as he/she operated on you and may have their own protocol.
