Port Location



Recommended Posts

Where is everyones ports located? Mine is in the middle of my tummy right under the center of my bra. I thought it would be by my belly button.

Anxious to go for my first fill and find out why he locates them there. It also is my largest incision so I wonder if that is where the band went in too!!!

I should have asked when I had the staples out, but I was so glad to get them out I just asked where the port was but not why?

Mine is in the upper left quadrent of my stomach, about 3" above my belly button. I can feel the port under my skin. Yucky. My understanding is that the largest incision is where they put in the band and near where they place the port. Mine's still red and tender, almost two weeks after surgery.

Mine's on my right side, about halfway between my belly button and bra line... maybe a bit higher.

Mine is about halfway between my belly button and bra, and slightly off to my left side. Slightly.

Mine is directly to the left of my belly button...slightly upper left....I wonder if it is because I had the SILS/ Single Incision.

Mine is about midway between my belly button and my breast on the left side of my abdomin. Must be the surgeons preference I would guess? Never asked why only where it would be :)

Mine is on the right side and was sore for the first two weeks. It is definitely the largest incision, the rest are TINY!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
