Just curios where other people's ports are located! My port is right above my belly button and very uncomfortable! I was banded in the 24th and wonder is that discomfort is normal?

my port is on the left side like right under my ribs... the discomfort will go away after a week or so but everyone is different. If it is still hurting after a week you should go to your doctor.

That is where my port is too. I was banded on May 6 and I still have discomfort especially in the morning. I guess it's from the way I sleep.< /strong>

On right side about 4 inch's from the belly button and 2 inch's below the rib cage.

As for the scare it is the longest and about 2 inches long. Just like Guy hardly notice it.

Mine is to the right above my belly button, almost in line of my breast. It's been my sorest point. I was banded on the 23rd. I still can not lie on my left side, terribly sore and uncomfortable. I haven't been able to figure that one out.

Christy I was banded on the 23rd also! Sounds like ours are in the same area. I can sleep on my left side but not my right. I pack a pillow behind me!

I can't. Tell since my port revision surgery yet. When my port flipped it was sticking out sideways and looked like a hernia. So I had to have a revision and I think it's above my belly button. Not sure though.

Tams, I will try that! I am a side sleeper and it kills me to not be able to sleep on my side, and of my pick would be the left side :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
