After gallbladder surgery, it is generally not recommended to sleep on your stomach for a certain period of time. The surgery involves making incisions in the abdomen, which can cause discomfort and pain when pressure is applied to the stomach area. Sleeping on your stomach can put pressure on the incision sites, potentially causing pain and delaying the healing process.
It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions regarding sleeping positions. They will provide guidance on when it is safe to sleep on your stomach again, along with other important information to aid in your recovery.
While it may be uncomfortable at first, it is best to stick to sleeping on your back or side to prevent any potential complications. Making accommodations to sleep in a slightly elevated position or using pillows for support can also help alleviate any discomfort and promote healing.
Health tips:
– Follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions regarding sleeping positions
– Use pillows for support or to elevate your upper body while sleeping
– Avoid putting pressure on the abdomen while sleeping
– Keep incision sites clean and dry to prevent infection
