Port - Odd placement?

Good morning... I had my surgery one week ago today and I still cannot officially figure out where my port is. Maybe that sounds weird, but the doc said he would place it a few inches under my bra band. But that incision does not seem to be "it". I have another incision to the left of my belly button that is still crazy sore and that is bigger and taking longer to heal. I am now thinking that is where the port is. But here is my question - why do you think a doctor might have a change of plans at the last minute and second, isn't right in the middle of my tummy an odd place to have something that might eventually slightly stick out? :thumbup:

BTW, yes, I already did call and ask about it. The nurse just did not know what to tell me.

The port is placed near your largest incision to the left of your umbilicus{belly button} in your case. Mine is on the left above the umbilicus.It was the most tender spot post operatively& made it uncomfortable to sleep on left side. Don't worry, it goes away
