Where's your port?

[Daisalana 33]

My port was about an inch above my belly button, with 1 major incision. From the weight loss, my incision is a lot higher than my belly button now.. Then port flipped.. and now I have another incision, right between my breasts which is where my port is now.

My Port is about an inch under my belly button. It has turned almost all around now... UGH I am going to the Doctor in 2 weeks to see if it needs to be changed.

My port is directly underneath my largest incision, and it's located right next to the belly button, and extending somewhat into the belly button. So that if I stick my finger in my belly button, I can feel the side of the port extending into the belly button. Done anyone have their port essentially in their belly button?

I have never heard of the port being that close to the belly button. How odd. It seems like that would be a particularly sensitive spot for fills. Also, what if you decide to have a Tummy Tuck later, wouldn't that interfere? Hhhmmmm! Very interesting.

Does wearing tight jeans bother those with low ports??? I know mine is high, but I have hit it a few times, leaning over the bed of the truck or something, and I know it---it twinges real good! I cannot imagine it being somewhere commonly compressed!

My port is on the right side of my stomach right under my rig cage. I have 7 incisions in all. My port being the largest at about 3" in size.

My port is on the right side just below my rib cage. The inscision is just to the right of my belly button so my port has moved up. I was in a serious car accident with broken ribs on the left and had lots of scar tissue so that is the only reason my port was placed on the right side.

Laura: I know! I thought it was a weird placement also. It's not particularly sensitive, but it does feel weird. I haven't had a fill yet, so I'll have to wait to see whether it's particularly painful. As for a TT, I've thought of that also. Hmmm

Kat: Yes, my jeans, which ride right below my belly button do bug my port (which is essentially in my belly button). It's not painful, but it just irritates the area in general. And then later on, it starts to itch. I'm kind of disappointed in where the port was placed, because my pants tend to sit right around my belly button anyway. We'll see what the doctor says at my first fill.

my port is on the right side and only one major incision. 4 small incisions.

Me too!

Have a good night.

My port is on the left side, about two inches above the left breast. My doctor places all his ports in the left shoulder area. This way, our fills don't have to be done with x-ray. The NP simply uses small needle to locate, check amount of fill in and add new fill. So simple.

I have one major incision and 4 small "poke" holes. My port is located very low on my left side. alot lower than it sounds like anyone elses is. Mine is nearly down by the top of my hip bone...weird......

My port was on my left, fairly close to my navel. When it flipped the doctor moved it up, still on the left, just below my bra line,

[Skinny_Jill 36]

My port is an inch below my bra line in the middle.

[Manda_T 1]

My port is on my left hand side, just below my ribs. It's pretty high up.

I also have a total of 5 incisions; 1 lrg for the port and 4 small ones which are almost gone.

They used glue to close my wounds.
