Where is YOUR port located?



Recommended Posts

Pat, you'll be able to answer your own question by the time you read this. I jumped on this thread late, and I seem to be in a minority: my port is near my left hipbone. At the moment there is absolutely no danger of it protruding! Even when I get close to my goal weight it'll probably be padded, to judge from the 19th-century photos of my pear-shaped female ancestors. I haven't had any trouble with the port so far, and it doesn't hurt at all.

I'm happy to say, as of 26 hrs ago, my port is now in place on my right side between my right boob and rib...I think! I know it's under one of these bandages. Although on the xray this am it looked like it was on the left, I'm not really sure where it is, I just know I got one!

My port is just above the bellybutton on the left side. I have never felt it except when it itched while it was healing. Oh and after the one fill I had:)

Hi All I was bande the same day as harleynana

and my port is on the ribcage on my left. i asked my surgeon about the 10cc thing and he said he no longer uses the 4cc ones and all his patients are fitted with 10cc as he felt it allowed more flexibility for fills.. Mind you he was the most amazing looking man for his age and i was gazing at him quite adoringly at the time so he could have located my port by my ass for all i cared....lol

      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! 😞
