Unfortunately, the more I lost the more I felt it... and now I can see it. It pokes me when I bend over. For me, its a small price to pay to save my life.

Down the line, when I finally save up enough for some good old plastic surgery I will have it relocated.

And yes, mine also feels like a circle. I like to feel it... it reminds me regularly of the good things I am doing for myself!

My port moves every night when I sleep. I go to bed and it's hanging out with my belly button; I wake up and it's creeping its way up my chest like some pervert at a night club.

A good stretch puts it back in its place though. It's been like this since I hit goal and it doesn't hurt or feel weird, so I've never been worried about it. I figure it’s something my muscles do when I sleep since I do sleep on my stomach.

They told me at my doc's office that my port is positioned in a different place now based on the way I've lost weight in my stomach??:angry:

When I had my first fill, my dr. said that my port was on its side. Either it moved that way or that's the way he put it like that by mistake or something.

I actually had mine to flip. I had to have another surgery to repair it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
