Where is your Lap Band port?

[Anali11 9]

Hey guys, so I am 5 days post op and have no idea where my port is....I am still swollen and cant feel where it is. Otherwise I have been doing fine, I am back at work and feel great. Anyone else have had this issue? My surgeon only does 2 incisions so I guess thats another reason why I am xonfused as to there it could be.

I'm not banded yet, but I was told it goes behind the layer of fat in your stomach, and generally speaking you should not be able to feel it. You should give your docs office a call. I'm surprised at the 2 incisions, my doc said he does 5.

Good Luck

You can feel your band, but the swelling will have to go down before then.

My is on my left just below my ribs. Most the time its the largest incision and the one that stays the most tender, longer.

Congratulations MsBandster!

Mine is on my right, just below my ribs. I can feel it, it's like a hard bump under my skin. Maddygram is totally right about it being by the biggest incision!

I guess mine will be on the left since the last tender area in my abdomen. My surgeon did 4 incision during my procedure.

Mine is on the left and because I am pear shaped, not only can I feel it, but I can see it too ,,I lose weight in my midsection first

Different doctors put the port in different places. Mine is above my naval and slightly to the left. I have heard some have them placed higher or even in the waistline.

Mine is in the same spot
