I was just curious where others have their port placed. Mine is at the top of my abdomen just below the sternum in the middle of my "stomach" area. I thought they went on your side along your ribs.

Mine was placed the same place. They told me my tissue on my side's would not of held it in place.

Mine is on my right on my tummy

Mine is also almost directly under my sternum, I have no problem finding it!!

ok I glad someone else's is in the same place as me because when i came out of surgery I was confused because I thought it was supposed to go along the sides.

mine is just below my right breast and just off center

right side of my belly facing down towards belly near belly button. All doctors place the port in different places. Guess is what they are used too.

Mine is below my left breast, just off center....

Mine is on the left just under my rib cage. I feel it every time I move especially when i bend over. But I'm newly banded 12/18. Hoping I don't feel it all the time. Gets uncomfortable.

Need advice! I was serving my kids juice today and dropped the juice carton.... I reacted without thinking and bent down quickly to pick it up. I didn't think twice about my port and I'm 8 days post op. I have a little discomfort now and some swelling. Will this go away or did I do some damage? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I was banded on 12/11 and I was doing great until this afternoon. I stretched way too far to turn a lamp off on the other side of my bed and now I am having sharp stabbing pain by and below my port incision when I bend the tiniest little bit, go to sit or from sitting to standing, twist, or walk and the area looks a little swollen I did have sharp pain in the first few days after surgery but it had went away. I really think I pulled or strained and aggravated the healing muscles. Hopefully it will continue healing and the pain will go away again. Has anybody else had sharp stabbing pain (around/below the port incision) from moving wrong?

On a positive note I am down 22lbs since 11/26 and at my 1 week post- check I was down 9lbs from the day of surgery. 11/26 379, 12/11 366, 12/19 357!!!

Even have discomfort laying in bed

Ugh!

Guess u can tell I'm new because it posted 3 times and idk how to fix it :/
