My port is under the longer incision and I can feel it with my hands.

Mine was the larger incision site just below my left manboob :o

The longer one!

Longer one usually is near the port. I can feel my port. Its on the right side near my rib cage. Very easy for my doc to access for fills.

yep the longer one is where your port is.. did your surgeon explain to you what he did? mine came in after surgery and explained the procedure and where my incisions were.. he also told me before the procedure ... some Dr's don't do a good job of letting you know what they are doing.. my port is on my left side down below my rib cage...

manboob?

OH my gosh.... :o

The technical term for these is Moob.

We should have a moob off. Would make a interesting thread, with pics of course.............

Dr came in twice when I was in recovery that I can remember but I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia so I did not really get to talk to him...

Thanks all I was thinking the longer incesion so I guess that is probably right since thats were all yours are !

well i just (assumed) my large incision was the port.

i was so fat (i couldnt feel the port) and had to ask the dr was he sure he put the band in me? ......remember i was the one who asked my dr does acrylic nails affect the band.....picture me having a stupad moment there...HAHA

LOL!!!

OH my gosh.... :o
