Bellybutton Port Incision?



Recommended Posts

I was curious about the port incision. When I went to my surgeons office to have my blood work completed we discussed my incisions. He told me he would make three small ones and a fourth where the port will be inserted through my bellybutton. I know every surgeon does things a bit different but from the info I have been seeing online I haven't come across anyone who had the port inserted in this manner. Has anyone had their port inserted like this?

Thats where mine is. My port is just to the left side and just about an inch above the bellybutton.

Mine too. I have a sad face scar around half my belly button. Mine is just to the right side. I thought it would be an odd location, but it's working just fine!

That's where mine is. I have four total. Two to the right and left side of my upper belly, and one larger incision just above my belly button with a small incision just above my port to left of my belly button. I'm almost 2 months out and they are healing beautifully.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
