Bellybutton Port Incision?



Recommended Posts

I was curious about the port incision. When I went to my surgeons office to have my blood work completed we discussed my incisions. He told me he would make three small ones and a fourth where the port will be inserted through my bellybutton. I know every surgeon does things a bit different but from the info I have been seeing online I haven't come across anyone who had the port inserted in this manner. Has anyone had their port inserted like this?

Thats where mine is. My port is just to the left side and just about an inch above the bellybutton.

Mine too. I have a sad face scar around half my belly button. Mine is just to the right side. I thought it would be an odd location, but it's working just fine!

That's where mine is. I have four total. Two to the right and left side of my upper belly, and one larger incision just above my belly button with a small incision just above my port to left of my belly button. I'm almost 2 months out and they are healing beautifully.

      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.

      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.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
