Where is port?

I was banded on 11/13. Problem is, I have no idea where my port is. Is it under an incision?

Reason I ask.... I have been having pain in my right side, when I twist or move and it is excrutiating for about 5 seconds, then goes away. When I press down there, I feel a hard lump somewhat deep down. Is that my port or do I have a hernia?

It is near your largest incision, my incision is just above my belly button and the port is about two inches above and two inches to the right of the incision.

Look for the largest incision and you will locate your port. My port was placed on my left sound above the bell button.

Mine is to the left of my belly button, just above the incision. Yes, the hard lump is probably your port.

I only have 2 small incisions and the port is sort of between and off to the side (incision between boobs and one just at my belly button). It feels like a large creepy tumor.

It is close to your largest incision. Mine is located right between my breast so it doesn't show and can be found easy and couldn't lose it!! :angry_smile: If that bump isn't it, it may be scar tissue. I have hardning under one of my other incisions and it is scar tissue.
