I just found out today at my post op appointment that my port is by my belly button.....i thought it was supposed to be by my side.....anyone else like this?

I had my surgery on Wednesday, Feb 23, and after reading of the placements of some of the ports, I just asked my Dr. if he wouldn't put it at my waistband. i have a naturally high waste and I didn't want to start wearing jeans later on and feel it cutting into the port area. Jeans always seem a little tighter when you first put them on. So, my surgion put mine about 3 inches above my belly button and slightly to the left. I also have a question. For some reason I had the idea that they were only going to put 3 little holes in me plus the port site. I have the port site plus 5 other holes. Does everyone else have this many incision places?

i had my surgery 02/16 and i have swelling im guessing its where my port is did u have swelling there also?

Same here. I'm only a week post op it's the only soreness I have. I guess I just want expecting it there!
