Mediports are placed their all the time and I actually have some pretty thin pts who have them and they usually can hide them pretty well. Plus, mediports are bigger than our ports. I dont know that I wouldnt have rather had mine there than the middle of my upper abd.

That is a very interesting placement. Something like that would have worked well for me. Where my port is right under the left breast but close to my waist line. I have a very small torso, so there isn't much room for placement and sometimes I do irritate it when I move around a lot or overexert myself.

Please do follow up with us as yo move forward to let us know how it's working out for you.

My port is placed right above my left breast as well...although I'm only 13 days post op, it has not given me any trouble at all.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
