Hi, Jini! My port is slightly underneath the largest incision, on my left side, roughly waist level. Some people's ports are in different locations, but I bet you would be right to guess it is near the largest incision. Cindy

Is there a best place for it? My surgeon told me it would be in the center just under the breastbone.

I could feel the pain when someone mentioned it in their breastbone. Sorry mine is taken up by a huge zipper that to this day is itchy and hurts and isn't a pretty site. I sure as heck don't want anything else there, but I have heard that it is the easiest place for it when it comes to fills. In my case I sure can't have it there, and honestly don't think I would want it there. In any case I hate bras...but I make an exception for when I go out :)

I remember right after surgery, I had no idea which one was the port. The one I thought was the band, the largest one, smack in the middle of my "waist" to the right is my port. Actually, the port rests a little above that scar.

When you lie in bed do you feel the port - does it get in the way of a comfortable sleep in some positions? When I have the op I don't know if the doc will listen to my request for positioning, but it's worth a try.

I'm a tummy sleeper, I think about it every night when I turn over, just for a second, I wonder if I just flipped anything inside, LOL.

Jini - We both used Dr Jay and our port seems to be in the same place, left side at large cut. It's sewn into a muscle I was told so it does move up and downa little depending on sitting, standing or laying down. If you put a little pressure ont he area around there, you can feel it. Try at different times in different positions and you'll see what I mean.

      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.
