Anybody else noticing that the port is moving. My port is on the R - side about 5 inches below my breast midway between my right hip and belly button well thats where it was originally, its moving in towards the belly button more and has moved about 1.5 inches South. Is it going to end up in my crotch? I am just kidding, but anyone else experience that. My doc says its normal as you lose weight but, I am not so sure its supposed to move that much?

Thanks!:)

It will still be stitched to the same bit of your abdominal wall but as you lose all your internal fat, where that bit of your abdominal wall is will change.

And yes, sorry to say but my port now sticks out. I dont think I have a low profile one, never asked. You'd only ever see it in a bikini anyway, it doesnt show through clothes, and really, on the beach you're just letting it all hang out anyway. I mean my bum now resides on the back of my knees, I can tie my tits in a knot behind my head, so why worry about a bit of a lump on my stomach?

      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.

      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!
