    I asked this same question to my surgeon, he said we will discuss that when I see you next in 6 weeks. There is a lot of different answers to this one. I think it's more of a trial and error. In saying that I'm still sleeping on my back and will be till I see my surgeon again in September.

      Here in Glasgow we do not have any contact with hospital until 3 months after op.  Shocking!  And even then we see a nurse not the surgeon.
