Ok I'm a restart been home 8 hrs how do I know what side is my port I have 5 incisions

I was able to find my port because it's closer to the top closest to my breast and I had to be Band-Aids covering the incision I'm not sure if yours are the same. I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm having gas pains but I did make sure that bought chewable Gas-X. so when I came home yesterday I had to take two chewable (30 minutes in between) all after that I've been walking around to help pass the gas or Burp.

Keda, Mrs Britt is right, My port is the biggest bandage. Also kinda under my right breast but a little towards the middle. Once its not painful you can probably push down a little and feel it. I think? LOL best of luck!!

      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.
