I am curious if the members here felt any discomfort post op in the reservoir area, for how long, and where is your reservoir placed?

I am at 5 weeks and i still feel discomfort. It is on my left side, to the left of my bladder. It is not real pain, but definetely noticeable for example at night if i am sleeping and turn around in bed i definetely feel i have something inside there. I wonder for how lnog it's normal to feel discomfort there.

Yes. For months afterwards, I would get twinges of pain/discomfort in the reservoir area.

It was always brief and not especially bothersome. I assumed it was part of the healing process.

Mine is center right a little above my pubic bone.

Yes. It stopped hurting a long time ago.

Not really discomfort, although I marked my vote that way as there was no other option. I can still feel it from time to time. I am at over 6.5 years. I do know it is there, but I have been on narcotic pain meds for some time for other issues. I guess that some discomfort could be hidden by the medication I am on.
