Mine is on my right side too. Above waist line, below bra line. Doesn't bother me except for when I shave my legs too!!

Mine is on the left. About 2 inches above my belly button and 2 inches to the right of my belly button. I sleep on my left side alot and I do feel it at night and have to adjust my body to get comfortable. I wonder if this is going to be an issue when Im not so fluffy anymore. :)

Similar to surgeries in the UK , My port is attached to the muscle over my breastbone. Dead center!

Mine is on my left, freaks my wife out if she accidently touches it. The cats tried digging it out occasionally thinking its a treat in my shirt.

LOL!!!! That's hilarious.

lol to be honest I don't know! I'm only 5 days post op and haven't figured it out yet, but before surgery my doc said it would be on the right, just below my breast. I think it might be there. You know, just where you would have gallbladder pain...right there along your rib cage line. Hmmmm

Looks like I'm the odd ball here......my port is dead center about 8 inches up from my belly button. No problems due to location of port.

I like the location of mine - dead center just below center of rib cage. The only way I can feel it is if I touch it. It never gets in the way of bending or clothing.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

      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! 😞
