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 :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
