where is my port area?



Recommended Posts

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
