Day Seven Post Op

Surgery went well. no problems post op. The pain was very manageable. The majority of my pain was not from the actual incisions but in my chest and neck. At times this was quite disturbing. It felt like a full blown heart attach. This really started on Day three. Better now. I have lost 7 lbs is 7 days. but have consumed approximately the same number of calories in that entire time:rolleyes:. I have five incisions. I am trying to figure out where my port is located. The largest site has a visible {Large} lump under it but it is directly adjacent to my belly button. That can't be the port can it? I shows up a lot already. It will be a huge lump when I am thinner. I was told the port would be placed high on my abdomen and laterally. What do you think?

Congratulations Bander!!! and welcome to LBT! Yep, the port will have the most swelling and will take awhile to heal. -BG
