Transforming your bed into a LazyBoy chair

Post-Op requires us to sleep on our backs at 45% inclination.

Any neat & cost-efficient ideas to make your 'temple of recovery' as comfy as possible?

For starters, pillows seem to be the obvious choice... but how many? what sizes? any preferred setups?

Hope you get my point

Post-Op requires us to sleep on our backs at 45% inclination.? who says that bullshit? i had a lipo 7 days ago and im sleeping at 0% inclination for the whole week

AFAIK, it helps reduce swelling esp. when you have your drains on.
Look around, you will know what i am talking about

Sleeping at 45 degrees might help those with drains, but not every surgeon needs to put in drains, so most people are fine with just simply sleeping on their backs.

I had gland and lypo.. No drains. I was told to sleep elevated for three weeks.. The first night with a towel under me for leakage. The reccomended height was two to three pillows. I too was told it would help accelerate the swelling reduction. Also, sleeping elevated, you are less likely to roll over. Sleeping elevated isn't BS, maybe some people don't need to. But, some obviously do.

I too was told to sleep at an incline for a week or so.  Found it pretty much impossible.  Even with some elaborate pillow arrangement they kept sliding away and i woke up flat on my back with a sore swollen chest from all the fluid build up...the binder helped a fair bit with that problem. but yeah, never figured out how to make my bed into an inclined bed like the hospitals have

rashdudes next time be more specific, we are not in your head to understand what you imply

dude why are u so pissed?  I think i was clear enough. Just because you didn't come across
such a thing as 'sleeping inclined post-op' doesn't make me or any other member around here
vague. You should do some research yourself before replying to any posts;  if u cant, then just
sit back and see what others have to say.

Recovery is a pain in the ass, i understand your bitterness  peace man!
