Just curios where other people's ports are located! My port is right above my belly button and very uncomfortable! I was banded in the 24th and wonder is that discomfort is normal?

my port is on the left side like right under my ribs... the discomfort will go away after a week or so but everyone is different. If it is still hurting after a week you should go to your doctor.

That is where my port is too. I was banded on May 6 and I still have discomfort especially in the morning. I guess it's from the way I sleep.< /strong>

On right side about 4 inch's from the belly button and 2 inch's below the rib cage.

As for the scare it is the longest and about 2 inches long. Just like Guy hardly notice it.

Mine is to the right above my belly button, almost in line of my breast. It's been my sorest point. I was banded on the 23rd. I still can not lie on my left side, terribly sore and uncomfortable. I haven't been able to figure that one out.

Christy I was banded on the 23rd also! Sounds like ours are in the same area. I can sleep on my left side but not my right. I pack a pillow behind me!

I can't. Tell since my port revision surgery yet. When my port flipped it was sticking out sideways and looked like a hernia. So I had to have a revision and I think it's above my belly button. Not sure though.

Tams, I will try that! I am a side sleeper and it kills me to not be able to sleep on my side, and of my pick would be the left side :)

      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.
