Sleeping upright?

If we stop before being a week post op will the implants go somewhere they shouldn't??

I'm really struggling with sleeping upright haven't had a good night sleep since the op, back is killing d bum is constantly numb. Jut wondering whether you think I'll be able to get away with lying down properly tonight?

They're not painful when I lie flat but am worried they will settle an odd shape what do you think?x

sorry that made me giggle! sleeping upright is just to help with swelling, its advised you try and sleep like that for about 2 weeks but i was the same and found myself slipping flat on my back every night!

You should be ok hun so long as your not rolling onto your side.

I think you will be ok. Just keep your head raised on2 pillows, You will be fine. I took so many pain killers for back ache when sleeping upright for 2 weeks

Hi Staci_x!!

You have brightened my evening too!! They will stay with you forever now Sleeping upright? 113752

As Cakey said, sleeping upright is to help the swelling and healing process. It is best if you can continue sleeping upright untill you have your first check at least, and discuss with surgeon.

I found it helpfull to emprison myself with pillows and one under my knees to help with the slipping down. However, think we all slipped, I dont think you will do any harm, we can only do our best.

good luck!! It is not easy, I know, I ended up either annoyed with myself through tiredness or laughing at myself fighting with pillows and boobs....ah the joys Sleeping upright? 727935

Thanks girls, I always have loads of pillows anyway so will be raised still. And my swelling is going down nicely so think it should be ok!x

Staci I'm glad you asked this cos I'm the same as you, I was awake every 5 mins last night just waiting for morning to arrive so i could get up, I didn't realise how hard it'd be sleeping upright.

Good to hear the swelling is going down for you.

Stupid question but how do you know what is swelling and what is boob?

Well mine were rock hard and high to start but theyre a bit more squigy now and erm... softer looking! I've still got a it of swelling between the middle of them but I'd say when I woke up today they've gone down loads and they're not sore looking or feeling... dont know if at babble helps? lol!x

Haha yeah it does help thanks hun. Mine still seem very high, like when I turn to the side they look an odd shape on top, like something un-natural has been stuffed inside - which of course it has, just waiting for it to look like a boob now!
Hope you have a better night's sleep tonight hun xx

Ahh thanks hun sure I will! Yeah mine were like that but they're a bit smoother today, probably 'cause I've had a smaller implants than you, they're settling sooner!x
