Hi all, I am one day post-op.....

I thought my port would be lower / on the side. It appears to be below my cleavage, kind of on top of my sternum (where there isn't much fat!).... is this normal?

It hurts like a s.o.b...... it's bulging but that must be the swelling, right?

I have an incision there... but not the port one. Weird place to put it, however, my is lower on the side, where I have a chubby roll. So everytime I sit or put jeans on it rubs and gets really sore.

Maybe he picked that spot becuase its stable and doesn't move around, in which case, its a good idea!!!

I guess that's a good reasoning..maybe some people have more fat on the top than the sides, making the doctor place it on the side? hmmmm...

mine I feel is swollen also it is center my cleavage down about 6 inches. everyone says they can tell I am loosing in my legs and of all things my neck , but never my belly where I need to loose it, I hope it is swelling and it will go down soon. banded 19th

Thanks Karri, glad to know I'm not the only one with it in that spot!

My port is also right below the sternum...i kinda like it there...I wont be wearing any blouses that low or revealing any more abdomen so it seems to be in a good spot. I hear others have it placed just above the bikini line...

It doesnt even mess with my bra seams...
