Anyone Else Have Port In Chest?



Recommended Posts

My port is in my left chest. I was banded on 2.17.12 and tonight I'm feeling some shooting pains in my left breast. Anyone else experience anything like this?

My port is on my breast bone, no problems.

Cancer patients get ports on the chest too.Not sure about the pains though. Personally, I'd much rather have the port on my chest.

Mine is also very high - right under my left breast. I think I prefer it there as I read some people have theirs in their bend zone. I go for m first fill tomorrow - we'll see if I still like there after that - lol.

My port is about an inch below my rib cage on the left side and I haven't had any pain with it there.

I thought mine was right under my left breast..because there is a huge bump there. When I went to get my first fill the doctor actually said the port was about 2-3 inches lower. I really dont know what the bump is..I think its part of my band...he really wasnt too clear when I asked him so when I go for my next fill Im going to really demand to know what it is..it drives me nuts.

      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.
