Sleeping on Your Stomach After Tummy Tuck? (photo)

Tori70
I'm still sleeping with my legs up and on incline with my back and it's day 15 after my procedure. It's hard to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time laying this way. I don't feel pain, except in my back, and I still have tape all where the incision was, and that's not close to peeling off. But is it okay to lay on my stomach and when does the tape start coming off?
