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!

      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'. ???

        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!
