My port is located on my wasteline next to my belly button. Does anyone have their port there? It's uncomfortable when I wear close fitting pants or a belt.

thats where mine is also. i found it quite uncomfortable for about a month. now im losing more weight around the waist and im still wearing the larger size pants its not so bad. next week it will be a bit sore again though. Last fill it was sore for a few days, i had to put some padding in the waist band in that area.

That's where mine is but closer to my belly button. I hate there because at times if I go to stand up it pulls and it hurts.

That is where mine is also. I am only 4 days post-op and it does hurt to stand. It feels like it is being stretched. But i assume that it will get better. I hope!

Mine is to the left of my belly button and up some. It's just above my waistline. I was banded 5/24/12 and it is still sore if I bend or reach to my left. I sure hope it gets better. I woul hate for it to be like this forever.

Mine is an inch or two below my belly button, so no low rise jeans for me!

Mine did the same thing but now I have no pain. My surgery was May 11th and the pain didn't last to long. Just make sure you don't lift over your requirements and don't strain when using the restroom. I learned the hard way on the straining part. But all will be good before you know it.

I was wondering if the port is directly beneath the incision or do they put it up past the incision. I have no idea where my port is yet... I was freaking out too much in recovery to ask.

I have four incisions like mid belly in a line about an inch apart. I guess they are like 3 inches above belly button then I have a 5 th incision like 2 inches below my boobs right in the middle. Port is second middle incision from the left in the line.

My port is below my breast in the middle of my stomach. I had my surgery 8 days ago and it is still sore. It is in a bad place for an underwire bra. my pot is about an 1/2 below the incision.

Mine is about 2 inches to the right of my belly button and about 2 inches above it, I hate when it pulls! It feels so weird!!

They put my port directly under my incision and it makes me worried for when I get my fill because seems like it would be more painful putting the needle directly into the incision even though it will be mostly healed by then

Mine is on the left side about 4 inches from my belly button. It hurts now when I am driving and and have to bend. Hoping it will get better with time. It is still noticeably swollen. I was banded on June 5th

      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!
