Hello! I was banded a little less than 2 weeks ago. I have a larger incision on my left side, and with the large knot under my skin, I was SURE this was my port, until tonight...

All of a sudden, I feel a knot about 2-3 inches higher on the same side. Which one do you think is my port? Why do I have two knots? What could the other one be?

I have an appointment on Tuesday, but in the meantime, I'm stressed all of a sudden! Thanks for the help!

First Congratulations:

Second, yes the large incision will have the large know because scar tissue is forming, the other knot is your port, it will feel like it is burning when you move in different directions. Take it easy and concentrate oh healing!

Good Luck

I was banded on the 13th, and have the exact same concern. :cursing:

Im not able to feel my port (although I havent really pushed down hard enough) but I know where it is because I can feel it kinda pulling inside me.

mine is right above the large incision. I wouldn't worry about where the port is, just let yourself heal. There is no need to stress out over it. The only people that really need to know where the port is at is the surgeon and or the fill doctor.

ha ha I would say in your belly but Texas isn't that big..lol yeah mine is in the same spot and why all this time was I thinking that it was going to be like way lower? Maybe because I am so short? Mind you I am a whopping 4'8.5(I had to get a wavier to get in the Army). So yeah I was really thinking this bad boy was gonna be like closer to my little hip but oh no it's all up in my ribcage if I don't sit up straight, which is something else I have definitely learned to sit up straight(again), like I've been out for soo long..lol
