where is my port area?

[redchic1978 1]

I had my band oct 10th and I have no idea where my port area is. Others are saying it hurts. I feel nothing. I still have all my bandages on. 5 of them. Can you see it? Do they just stick a needle in to do fills?

I was just banded the 13th and I can not see mine and as of right now I can not feel it with the swelling from surgery. I know that it is under my largest incision though. (by under I mean just below, not directly under)

-edit.. I didn't see the post from formykids2.. Pretty much what they said..

In my case, it is under the largest of the five incisions. It was the area that was the most sore and there is hard knot feeling under it. And yes, from what I have seen (haven't had it long enough to have a fill) they deaden the area and use a special needle to go through the skin and into the port.

I was banded on the 12th. My port is on the upper right side of my abdomen I can easily feel it and it is the only incision that is really tender. But surprisingly I can lay on my right side to sleep!
