As far as sleeping goes...have you tried a recliner? I am 5weeks out and I still prefer it. I tried the night before last to sleep in my bed (I"m also a stomach sleeper). I am still not ready to sleep on my stomach and my hips start to hurt after about an hour....so I toss and turn. In the chair I sleep fine. Try it.

Also when I was in the hospital the nurse told me I was lucky that my back wasn't bothering me. She said a lot of people experience extreme back pain after the procedure. So it's very common. I know that doesn't make it less painful, but maybe less stressful.
