Keda, Mrs Britt is right, My port is the biggest bandage. Also kinda under my right breast but a little towards the middle. Once its not painful you can probably push down a little and feel it. I think? LOL best of luck!!

I was able to find my port because it's closer to the top closest to my breast and I had to be Band-Aids covering the incision I'm not sure if yours are the same. I'm not sure about everyone else but I'm having gas pains but I did make sure that bought chewable Gas-X. so when I came home yesterday I had to take two chewable (30 minutes in between) all after that I've been walking around to help pass the gas or Burp.

Thank you

I did not squeeze. I just walked around.

I have not been so lucky coming to the other side as I've been admitted to hospital post op but hope to have turned the corner by am.

Ready to change my life!

What we're you admitted for?

I can't keep anything down! I'm now home from hospital but throwing up again! My GI exray showed my stoma opening was swollen shut and nothing is going through band. If I can't keep anything down still this am I will call my doctor and he will take me back to surgery to unbuckle but leave in band till the swelling goes down them another surgery to rebuckle it back so I have a working band.
