    My wife came home from the hospital after having major surgery to remove a cyst from her lung. The next morning, she could barely get out of bed because of the excruciating pain. There were no hospital discharge instructions for getting out of the bed. I did a UA-cam research and found this video. The next morning she used the technique. The technique helps you to make slow movements. It was so much easier for my wife to get out of bed and had very little difficulty. Just make slow movements and it'll work. Thank you for posting this.

      Meryl. My wife, Sheryl, just got up from taking a nap. She's still nervous about getting out of bed just because of the pain. She actually screams and cries from the pain. However, she used your method again and she said, "This is a life saver." Do you have any suggestions on how to get out of a chair or sofa without the pain? Thank you so much Meryl and good luck to you! I"m going to pass this along to my wife's doctor.

      ntexas100 please check in with her doctor. Her pain needs to be managed better. I had surgery twice and sneezing and coughing were very difficult but otherwise meds helped. If sneezing or coughing apply pressure with a wrapped towel. My hospital showed me how to do this. It's called splinting.

      Thanks Meryl. We thought about calling her doctor. However, last night and this morning she was doing much better. The doctor said she would have pain for 3-4 days and then it would start to diminish. She was right. Anyway, thanks again for the advice on getting her out of bed. That was her main issue. She had no problems this morning using your method.

    Thank you so much for this video! My wife had surgery to remove her gallbladder about a week ago, and has been having a lot of pain getting in and out of bed. We finally found your video and she didn’t feel any pain getting out of bed this morning

    Omg!!!! Thank you so much! My mother just had hip surgery and I thought I was going to have to put a baby monitor in the room to help her get up because it was hard for her to do a sit-up. This truly help both of us! Thank you for sharing this video!

    I wished i saw this video when i had my c section two years ago. Getting in and out of the bed was a nightmare. I had to move to the edge of my bed and force myself to get up. Now that i m pregnant again, hopefully i will have a normal delivery. If not, i m going to use this method. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I will try this tonight! I have been sleeping on the couch because it was easier to get out of, but I miss laying next to my husband. He's warm. Unfortunately, he doesn't wake up when I do, and I can't rely on him to help me up when I need to use the restroom.

      Yolanda Hernandez I don't think this would help with back surgery because it is for chest issues but you can check with your surgeon.

    Great idea. Thank you. I'm on day 2 of recovery from inguinal hernia surgery recovery and no one at the hospital gave me any ideas on how to get in-and-out of bed. I thought I would just wing it, but it's a real pain, literally, even with my wife helping. I think I will modify this because I'm a bigger guy. I will have a rope secured to the bottom leg of the bed because I don't think a sheet will hold me. But thanks again for the idea.

      +Amber Ward it helped a ton I had my husband stuff the sheet far under the mattress when he wasn't home I was able to use the bathroom and move around when needed my dad's having the surgery in November he's going to be using the same technique to move around after.

    You can add a 'knot' to the part that goes under the bed. It'll make it more secure.

    You can also try to roll out of bed at an angle so your feet touch first. That method uses less abdominal muscles.

    I have done this tip after my Myomectomy surgery by few days after I see this video
    Sadly it cause me Sharp chest pain doing this tip went to ER couldn't breath well
    Don't do this tip don't do it your lungs will keep on squeeze every time you do this n you need to practice deep breathing after abdominal surgery.
    I just got me a bed rail online after I discharge of 2 days in hospital from my chest pain
    Bed rail are way better and safe for your lungs n spinal for different weight n condition thanks!

      Sorry to hear. This is the first time in over 5 years that something like this has happened. My surgeon recommends it to his patients after I told him about it. This technique was shown to me by a Nurse. I would suggest people check with their physician. It helps many people.

    Hello Meryl, my Dad has come home after having his gallbladder removed, and was concerned about getting in and out of bed when in a normal bed without hospital sides. I sent him 3 different video techniques, and this was the one that worked for him. He used his arms, and no stomach muscles - he felt no pain and was independent again. I said I'd pass on my thanks to you for sharing this technique, Justine
