I had my surgery on Friday and when I woke up I was suprised at where my port is. Its directly under my left breast??? It seems like I might not be able to wear a bra for awhile! I never got to see my surgeon after surgery. They had the doc on call come and discharge me, but when I asked him why it was placed there he said he wasnt sure. Is this normal placement? I had just assumed it would be lower in my abdomen area..not so high.

Also, Im 3 days out and the gas is killing me. Not passing a lot. It feels like its stuck in my chest and under my ribs. If I could just belch Id feel great. Ive walked holes in my slippers and its not helping. I got some Maalox anti-gas and thats not working either..any suggestions?

I took Gas X and it helped along with walking and laying on my right side. my port is on my left side but not right under my breast, closer to my belly button. Hang in there.

Just how low are your boobs? Just kidding. Mine is about a few inches below my left breast but I have no problem wearing an underwire bra.

Gas x strips haver worked really well for me. I have had no problem passing gas, much to my husbands dismay.

my port is on the left side by my ribs.

I wanted all of my scars below my belly button so when I have a tummy tuck later they will all be gone, so mine is right beside my belly button on the right.

Mine is pretty high, kind of between my breasts. Never effected me wearing a bra. For the gas - The walking and gas x never worked for me. I used pain killers and a heating pad. That was the only things that helped some. Good Luck!!

My port is centered about 2 inches above my belly button.

I thankfully never has a problem with the gas. Hope you get quick relief.
