Anybody else noticing that the port is moving. My port is on the R - side about 5 inches below my breast midway between my right hip and belly button well thats where it was originally, its moving in towards the belly button more and has moved about 1.5 inches South. Is it going to end up in my crotch? I am just kidding, but anyone else experience that. My doc says its normal as you lose weight but, I am not so sure its supposed to move that much?

Thanks!:)

It will still be stitched to the same bit of your abdominal wall but as you lose all your internal fat, where that bit of your abdominal wall is will change.

And yes, sorry to say but my port now sticks out. I dont think I have a low profile one, never asked. You'd only ever see it in a bikini anyway, it doesnt show through clothes, and really, on the beach you're just letting it all hang out anyway. I mean my bum now resides on the back of my knees, I can tie my tits in a knot behind my head, so why worry about a bit of a lump on my stomach?

      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?
