Port Location



Recommended Posts

Where is everyones ports located? Mine is in the middle of my tummy right under the center of my bra. I thought it would be by my belly button.

Anxious to go for my first fill and find out why he locates them there. It also is my largest incision so I wonder if that is where the band went in too!!!

I should have asked when I had the staples out, but I was so glad to get them out I just asked where the port was but not why?

Mine is in the upper left quadrent of my stomach, about 3" above my belly button. I can feel the port under my skin. Yucky. My understanding is that the largest incision is where they put in the band and near where they place the port. Mine's still red and tender, almost two weeks after surgery.

Mine's on my right side, about halfway between my belly button and bra line... maybe a bit higher.

Mine is about halfway between my belly button and bra, and slightly off to my left side. Slightly.

Mine is directly to the left of my belly button...slightly upper left....I wonder if it is because I had the SILS/ Single Incision.

Mine is about midway between my belly button and my breast on the left side of my abdomin. Must be the surgeons preference I would guess? Never asked why only where it would be :)

Mine is on the right side and was sore for the first two weeks. It is definitely the largest incision, the rest are TINY!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
