I think that my port is in a weird and uncomfortable spot. It is 2 inches left of the center of my stomach horizontally and basically in the mi:confused:ddle vertically. I feel like it is very close to my rib and it makes it very uncomfortable for me to move. Where are your ports located? Is the pain normal, when can I expect it to subside. I don't really have any pain at the other incision sites.

Thanks, hoping for a quick pain-free recovery - I am a week in tomorrow - post-op.

Hi everyone,

I am not sure where my port is? I guess it is where I have the largest incision, under my left breast. It feels hard and is very unconfortable when I bend over towards that direction. I have several small incisions, because of my tummy tuck back in 04. Dr. said he had to modifify some things becuz of the tightend muscles due to the tummy tuck. Not sure what he really meant. I have a total of of 5 incisions. One is a few inches in width which I am assuming is the port entrance, the others are much smaller. Let me know about your incisions please. I was banded in Juarez Mexico, by Dr. Natera, on April 27, 2009. Just 6 days ago. He, the hospital staff and the Hospital were amazing. :thumbdown:

! was banded on April 16 and my port is in about the same place - not where I thought it would be. It was the only place I had any bruising or soreness really. But most of that is gone now. You should be fine in another few days. Christita

I had my surgery on 1/14/09 and my port is about 1-2" below my left breast. Even though it's higher then where most of you folks seem to have yours--I did have pain when bending over for the first three months. It got better and better as time went by.

I know it's there, and it twinges with pain occastionally, but for me at least the majority of the pain has finally gone away.

I hope all of you feel a lot better with some time passing too.
