I just had an Unblical hernia Surgery. The doctors professionals. I taught that the surgery was gonna be so painful based on the severals videos I’ve watched before the surgery, but it was awesome.  My only fight here is to sleep on my stomach cause I’m a stomach sleeper . And it been only 3days after my surgery and I’m afraid that the stitches might open if I laid down on my stomach. Any taughts pls

    I had an umbilical hernia that was fixed, and I'm a stomach sleeper also. I didn't have too much pain but I was very careful about moving, as you have probably discovered that you need to be by now. Moving was like doing a push-up in bed. I also had Vicodin, which helped me fall asleep. After about a week, I didn't feel much pain there, unless I pressed around the area. I hope it goes well for you. It will get easier.
