port location

[acidic 0]

Please help, I can’t find my port - banded on 1st Feb so I have not had my first fill (appt booked for 4th March) im sure the doc will be able to find it but I’d like to know where it is before then. Is there any particular way to make it easier to find?

So many people say they can feel theirs… I cannot L

It should be right under your longest incision when you are lying down.

It may be hard to find because you are still swollen. Mine is right above my belly button so you may want to check there.

Lay down to feel because the location does feel different when standing. Mine is located just below and to the left of my largest incision. It is pretty much in the center of my torso, and a little left, about 2 inches below my sternum.

Thanks everyone, I will give it a go tonight.

I do feel my tummy is somewhat swollen still, but i wasnt sure if it could be this long after surgery? I am 18 days post.

My surgeon told me where mine was but I knew he wanted to put it above my belly button and that is where it is. I knew it was there but didn't "feel" it till the surgeon told me to at my post op appt! I have my first fill on Monday 2/22 and am getting a little nervous. yet excited!!!:thumbdown:

About 2-1/2" to 3" below my rib cage on the right side of my body.
