Hey everyone, just had a quick question. Where is everyones port located and how many laproscopic locations did your sugeon use.

Mine is just to the right and at about the same height as my belly button and my doctor only used 2 incisions to do my surgery.

Also did anyone have a choice of where thier port was put.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

my port is about 3 inches above my belly button. that incision is the biggest one i have (2 inches) and i have 5 total

Mine is located in the same place as yours have you been able to feel it? I can and it's a weird feeling. I asked my nurse to confirm what I was feeling and she said yes that's it. My surgeon made five incisions.

i have been able to feel mine somewhat if i kinda feel around. i have a lot of belly fat so it's pretty deep in there according to my surgeon.

Hi

My port is located a couple of inches above my belly button and I have five incisions.

:thumbup:Banded 21st January 2009:thumbup:

Mine is located about 1" below my left breast and I have 5 incisions.

5 incisions, right below my left ribs

Yes, I have been able to feel it. It does feel weird, and its still sore since I was just baneded 1/23/09. Were any of you able to pick where the port was positioned? I kinda of wish I would have and I would have put it a little to either side below the ribs. The current place makes it difficult to wear pants. Oddly enough although I have lost about 12 lbs. my waist size has not changed much. Anyone else have this problem?

My port is about 5 inches above my belly button right in the middle and I cant feel it. Its about a 2 inch incision. I have 5 incisions total.

Tullila....I was banded on the same day as you and I have lost 13 lbs since surgery and 22 total when counting my pre-op diet and I also cant tell any difference on my waist. Ive had friends and family tell me that it looks like im losing it in the upper part of my stomach and that my face looks skinnier. Thats all fine and dandy but i sure cant wait until my pants are a bit looser.

It depends on your starting weight. It takes me about 45 pounds before I lose a pants size and people start to notice a little change. But I started at 327.

I think my port is about six inches above my belly button (I'm tall) and I only have one 2.25 inch incision. My surgeon just started the one incision deal a couple of weeks ago. I'm pleased.

I have five incisions 3 are less than 1/2" long, one 1" long and the longest where the port was placed is 2" long. they are healing beautifilly and should be minimal scarring. My port is on the right 2" up and over from my bellybutton.
