My bra band used to sit right on top of my port! My port was attached by the 2nd last rib, left side. It's next to it now thankfully.... losing the weight has shifted my abdomen a bit thankfully! You'll only suffer a few weeks more. Try taping a couple gauze pads over the incision to cushion it more for tonight.

Yes yes yes! My bra hit just above my top incision. It took forever to heal up and even got infected somehow because of the rubbing. I put a ton of ointment on it and keep gauze on it.

I have the stretchy Spandex full length thing that can be used as a bra, but right now its way to right on my stomach.. maybe after the dwelling goes down.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
