Where is everyones port? i can feel something hard

[bubz 0]

I was just curious of where everyones port is?

I can feel a hard..something kinda lump on my right side near my bellybutton. which is just to the right of the bottom and longest incision. is this my port?

it kinda hurts a bit when you press on it and my stomach sticks out over it. like a little buldge is this normal? or should i be worried?

im going to call my surgeon and find out where my port is but i cant do that as its 10.30 at night here.

and i figured posting on here might ease my curiosity and worry a little bit.

TIA Bubz

Mine is diagonally centered between my belly button and my boob. It is my biggest incision and feels like a lump underneath the incision.

Hi Bubz,

My port is located in the same place as yours. And as said before, the port site is the largest incision, so that is where your port is and that is the bump you're feeling!

Mine is still pretty sore and stings/burns when I turn the wrong way or sneeze (god that first sneeze almost killed me.. lol). Now I hold my breath to keep from sneezing to keep myself from that pain..

Good luck on your journey,

Nat

Mine's under one of these five bandages somewhere. :laugh: I'm not even sure which one it is yet.

I was banded on 11/12, and just found my port today (I was afraid to search before...) I has a horrible pain on my left side right over my ribs. It's been bothering me all day, and wondering why my doctor put it right over my ribs. Oh well.

One inch up from my navel and about two, two and a half inches to my right. Definitely the most sore spot and pretty much the only one of my incisions that I have pain from.

My port is right under my ribcage below my left breast. It was about half an inch under my largest incision.

Mine is under my right breast -- just under my ribcage. My incisions are at least 4 - 5 inches away from the port...

I think mine is below my right breast - I was banded on 11/19th and I see a small bulge there. I had just assumed it was going to be lower near my belly button.

Mine is right between my breasts directly on the bone:w00t:. I have the low profile, so I can't see it at all. It is my sorest one and the only one that stings a little.

Mine is on my right side ...about 5 inches from my chest area. I can feel mine too. Weird .

I noticed mine stings a little also .That's interesting that you say that. I wonder why it feels that way.

My port is on my left side but it is under the bigger incision scar. However, I changed fill doctors and learned that almost everyone they see has it on their right side.

It does sound like your port, specially with the bigger bulge and it being near your biggest incision. You will be able to feel it a lot easier once some of your abdominal swelling goes down.

I had to laugh at that one. :crying:
