I Can't Figure Out Where My Port Is.



Recommended Posts

That's my location at the long incision.

I'm so glad you asked that! I've been wondering the same thing. My incisions are where my gallbladder incisions were... in my naval; 1-1/2" incision about three inches above naval and a dime-sized incision to the right and below that one; making an equilateral triangle. Are everyone's incisions always in the same place?

My port is to the left and about an inch from my longest incision. I can feel a hardness there when I stand up. I always knew where it was bc it hurt there while I was healing!

You guys have really great doctors if you don't know where your port is! Wait till you lose some weight - it'll become very pronounced. I can see mine thru my shirt. I could always feel mine tho - even before I lost any weight.

My port sits above and left of belly button, surgeons preference. The last fill I had he had me put my fingers to feel my port and kind of jiggle the area. My surgeon is so awesome and very precise and neat with the fills. Never have had a problem and he still asks me if I want lidocaine at the site....so sweet and good bedside manners.

My dr put mine on my waist line... Like not even an inch away from my belly button. Needless to say on my first fill I was shocked to see where it was located

      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.

      Lost my Pup last month and struggled really hard for that first month. Stopped tracking intake and slid into old habits here and there. Also quit working out. Can't walk in the neighborhood because of all of the memories we shared. Losing my Pup is the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through. My Pup was my world 💔
      Talked to my doc during my one year followup and they were not worried about my current status. They know, and I know, that I will get back on track.
