Is there a gernal location for where it would be placed? I kind of picked up the habit of holding my stomach, so I want to make sure I quit touching places before I do something to it.

I'm pretty serious when I say I can't wait for the surgeon to show me where it is! haha

Had 5 incisions btw.

The port should be under the largest incision either on the left or right of belly button. I have heard of some rare placements where it is by the breast bone, but the most common is by the belly button.

Yes, the port is located where the largest incision is on your belly. Mine is located about 6 inches above my belly button and to the right, below my right breast.

Mine is directly under my breast bone pretty close to the band.

is it the surgeons choice where to put the band, or can you request it to be next to the belly button? or even lower?? can it be seen once you lose the weight and in swimsuits again??

It is usually the surgeon's preference. Pre-op, my surgeon showed me exactly where it would be placed.

      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.

        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!
