My port is located on my wasteline next to my belly button. Does anyone have their port there? It's uncomfortable when I wear close fitting pants or a belt.

thats where mine is also. i found it quite uncomfortable for about a month. now im losing more weight around the waist and im still wearing the larger size pants its not so bad. next week it will be a bit sore again though. Last fill it was sore for a few days, i had to put some padding in the waist band in that area.

That's where mine is but closer to my belly button. I hate there because at times if I go to stand up it pulls and it hurts.

That is where mine is also. I am only 4 days post-op and it does hurt to stand. It feels like it is being stretched. But i assume that it will get better. I hope!

Mine is to the left of my belly button and up some. It's just above my waistline. I was banded 5/24/12 and it is still sore if I bend or reach to my left. I sure hope it gets better. I woul hate for it to be like this forever.

Mine is an inch or two below my belly button, so no low rise jeans for me!

Mine did the same thing but now I have no pain. My surgery was May 11th and the pain didn't last to long. Just make sure you don't lift over your requirements and don't strain when using the restroom. I learned the hard way on the straining part. But all will be good before you know it.

I was wondering if the port is directly beneath the incision or do they put it up past the incision. I have no idea where my port is yet... I was freaking out too much in recovery to ask.

I have four incisions like mid belly in a line about an inch apart. I guess they are like 3 inches above belly button then I have a 5 th incision like 2 inches below my boobs right in the middle. Port is second middle incision from the left in the line.

My port is below my breast in the middle of my stomach. I had my surgery 8 days ago and it is still sore. It is in a bad place for an underwire bra. my pot is about an 1/2 below the incision.

Mine is about 2 inches to the right of my belly button and about 2 inches above it, I hate when it pulls! It feels so weird!!

They put my port directly under my incision and it makes me worried for when I get my fill because seems like it would be more painful putting the needle directly into the incision even though it will be mostly healed by then

Mine is on the left side about 4 inches from my belly button. It hurts now when I am driving and and have to bend. Hoping it will get better with time. It is still noticeably swollen. I was banded on June 5th

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
