Port Sites

Just curios where other people's ports are located! My port is right above my belly button and very uncomfortable! I was banded in the 24th and wonder is that discomfort is normal?

my port is on the left side like right under my ribs... the discomfort will go away after a week or so but everyone is different. If it is still hurting after a week you should go to your doctor.

My port is the same spot I was the 19 and it's the only spot that still hurts

Is that your biggest scar?

That is where my port is too. I was banded on May 6 and I still have discomfort especially in the morning. I guess it's from the way I sleep.

That is my biggest scar the rest are about the size of a fingernail mark

I have 2 long ones Both on my right side. They are the ones that stay sore

My port scar is the biggest! My other 4 are very small!

I guess that would be min then. It's to the right and a little higher than my belly button

On right side about 4 inch's from the belly button and 2 inch's below the rib cage.

As for the scare it is the longest and about 2 inches long. Just like Guy hardly notice it.

Mine is to the right above my belly button, almost in line of my breast. It's been my sorest point. I was banded on the 23rd. I still can not lie on my left side, terribly sore and uncomfortable. I haven't been able to figure that one out.

Christy I was banded on the 23rd also! Sounds like ours are in the same area. I can sleep on my left side but not my right. I pack a pillow behind me!

I can't. Tell since my port revision surgery yet. When my port flipped it was sticking out sideways and looked like a hernia. So I had to have a revision and I think it's above my belly button. Not sure though.

Tams, I will try that! I am a side sleeper and it kills me to not be able to sleep on my side, and of my pick would be the left side :)

Mine is on the left side about 4 inches from the belly button and 3 inches from my ribs. Port is the biggest scar.
