What is the best sleep position after tummy tuck surgery?

August 12, 2012
Asked By:marianne2641

I am considering having 2 procedures at once to save time. Lipo of the hips and tummy tuck. I prefer to sleep on my side or stomach. On back is not that comfortable as I have GERD. If I have both procedures done at once, I assume I cannot sleep on either my stomach or sides. but for how long? how long after hip lipo can I sleep on my hips? how long afer TT can I sleep on my stomach? how do I sleep until I recover? What position?
