Will have surgery on the 22nd. Doc said it would be hidden below one of my left ribs. Wonder if it will really be there.

Mine is a little above my belly button and a little to the left. I thought it was going to be further left I don't like it right in front but I guess the line isn't that long.

Mine is right below the middle of my left ribs. I like where its at. I am very aware of where its at, but it doesn't bother me for sleeping even though I am a side/stomach sleeper. Easy for them to find for fills, but does not protrude (at least not yet... maybe after I lose more weight).

Mine is about 1 inch below my xyphoid process, right smack in the middle. I've never heard of any other doctor putting them there but mine.

About three inches below my right rib. I can feel it when I sleep on my right side--not very comfy!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
