Yeah I completely understand! Haha I've lost like 12lbs. I hink my body is going into starvation mode now though. It's holding on to every oz which I expected to happen. I'm working on increasing my caloric intake!

My port is underneath (pretty much) my biggest incision. Mine is above a a wee bit to the left of my belly button.

Please take it easy, I wasn't allowed any exercise for 6 weeks. He used the phrase 'pop a stitch' which stuck with me. Even the pushing and pulling could be too much so try to take it easy.........good luck

You are entitled to ask your doctor where the port is for future pains. I asked my surgeon prior where he wanted to install the port. He replied good question? He said based on what he sees inside during surgery will actually determin where to install the port. They usually sew it to a muscle mass so it doesn't move and can be easily "filled".

I ask all kinds of questions to my docotr before and even now, how much cc did he put in my fill. It's good information to have.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith

your left side is your colon and you have a lot of gas to pass get a laxative to help move things along milk of magnisa works very well. My port is just right of center and when I went to semimar the 3 people there had us feel theres in the same place.
