Wow, unfortunately I could tell you exactly where mine is the second I woke up in recovery! It is the only place I had pain, and still do if I do certain things. It is much better than it was the first week or two, which I am grateful for.

I know they generally prefer to place them on the left, unless there is an issue with space.

Mine is under my biggest incision, right above my belly button, pretty much dead centre.

      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.
