I had the CABG nearly 8 weeks ago. The past few nights I have slept on my left side. I am wondering if this is too soon to turn on my side. I was not given and time frame for this.

Hi Ch,
The left side is the "recovery" side.
Check with your doctor. There are many variables to consider. Your age, general health, what procedure was done, etc.

hi,
i had mine in 2007 as emergency repair. I was terrified to turn over. Use a pillow to hug, prop under rib longways & up into the armhole. i am female & boobs do not help. A soft pillow is better. I also roll one into my neck to fill the gap between shoulder & head. Have a good sleep. Hope that makes sense. I always lie flat for a full half hour to slot my verterbra back into sinc before I get up. If I have done too much I still do the lying flat in the afternoon.Could just be old age!!
Stay happy - it helps.
