Which one is my port? (Graphic picture attached)



Recommended Posts

JUST banded and this is a picture of me looking down. Which one is the port?

Ps. I'm in so much pain. Gas is subsiding but the stitches and insides feel awful.

It should be the longest incision.. usually about 1-2 " ... I can't tell by your photo.. the gas will go away in a few days or so.. walk around the house and make sure you drink.. good luck

Longest incision and there's a hard lump about the size of a Hershey's bliss cube under it. It's easy to find as it's the only incision that should protrude a 1/4-1/2 in. or so.

Perhaps the one with the longer piece of tape?

It's the longest incision and usually the one that causes some discomfort. I was banded on 2/19/13 and its hard to believe how all of that discomfort went away. It takes time, it takes walking and it takes healing. My port incision and the port itself were sore for a good 2 months. Not horrible, just achy and sensitive.

Good Luck!

I really cannot tell from the picture, but if you give it time to heal, you should be able to feel the port beneath the skin. Longest incision.
