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.
