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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
