If you could move your port would you?



Recommended Posts

Where is your port now and where would it be if you could change it?

I have an opportunity to move my port location. I am on the fence.

I'd be interested in where my choices would be.

Mine is to the left of my belly button by about 3 inches and a little below my waist.

The only thing I don't like about its location is that sometimes the waistband of my pants bothers it. Low-rise pants are fine and looser are good. But if at all tight and higher waisted, ugh.

Mine is also about 3 inches left of my bellybutton, but on my waistline so when I eat, I have to losen my belt. It doesn't hurt or anything like that, but I can tell it's there.

Hi:

My port is just below my rib cage in the middle. I love it being there because I never have to think about anything rubbing on it. Also, it lays nice and flat there.

Best wishes to you.

Mine is to the right of the belly button and up between my waist and ribcage....can feel it with effort, so far it's not noticeable and wastebands don't bother it at all, but it's low enough bras don't rub either.

What about when the girls sag even further? :thumbdown:

Choices I am considering are Below breastbone or in its current place which to the left of the belly button.

Even tho my port is at waist level, I have to tell you that at the beginning of this journey, it started just to the left of my sternum near my rib cage. Has been interesting seeing the scar move from under my left boob to close to my waist as I've lost the weight.

I hate where my port is...right midriff. Looks like a golf ball or alien trying to break through!!!!! When I am sure I am doing well maintaining I am going to have it moved and replaced with a smaller port.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
