i have no idea here my port is located. i have 4 incisions 1 above my bellybutton 2.in the middle but below my breasts and 2 on each side.how can i tell which hole is where my port is?

The port incision is normally bigger than the other incisions. most of my incisions are a half inch at most and my port incision is 2 inches.

then that would be the one above my belly button then i wonder why my side has been hurting maybe its gas pains

Yeah for me the side that was hurting the worst was where my port was, and it is my longest incision. mine is right under my rib cage on the right side.

My incisions are bigger than everybody elses. I feel like a science project :thumbup: The dr said it was because I have a thick abdomen wall. Sounds like he just didn't know what he was doing. Most people I know have one one of their incision in their belly button so you really can't see it. I've seen on YouTube that they are doing the procedure with one incision. That would have been awesome.

Herravan, I asked about single incision and my doctor said "Not at your weight". I was 281 at surgery; so I think you have to be low BMI to only have one incision.

I guess i couldn't have mine in my belly button cause i had a laproscopy done there before.

Ah ok Honk.... I wasn't sure.... I just saw it on YouTube and thought it was interesting.

My biggest incision was in my belly button and my port is just to the right of it. The other ones are 1/2 inch if that. They were SUPER small.

I know a girl that had bypass like 7 years ago and she has a HUGE scar all the way down her chest and stomach.
