Where's the port!

Hi Ya'll

I have an ignorant question for you more experienced bandsters. I'm not quite sure where my port is, and I have an appointment to get a fill on the 23rd of this month. I've read that it should be the largest incision, but my largest incision is about 2 inches below the waist and off a ways from the other smaller ones. I asked one of the nurses at the hospital where it was and she indicated an incision just inside my ribcage. There is a hard mass under both of these and I just can't tell which is the port. I could e-mail Dr. Rumbaut, but I figured I'd throw this out there first in case there is some "trick" to locating the rascal by feel!

but there is really nothing better than the wisdom of experience, and there is a ton of that here. Things that reading will never prepare you for being as how everyone probably responds to all the various affects of the band a little differently.

That is why I like this site. A lot of great advice from those that have made, or are making, the journey. That is far more valuable than anything I could read!

Laserjock, Love you already! Thank you for taking such a strong and involved stand with your wife. She can't help but succeed with that kind of support!
