Where is your port placement?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering where everyone has had their port placed... I was banded 2 weeks ago and mine is about an inch under my belly button... It is quite uncomfortable with jeans on..

I haven't had surgery yet - scheduled for Nov 13th, but my doc said it will be slightly to the right as well. I guess all surgeons don't put it in the same place.:(

When I first started, I thought band placement was standard, but through reading the threads, I find that's definitely NOT the case.

My surgeon told me the most convenient place (for him) would be between the breasts, but mine wouldn't be placed there because of the bra.

So mine is in the midsection, right hand side. (Healing nicely now, but gave me issues with getting up and down...)

Mine in on the right side just below my rib cage-at least that is where I feel it, but when I get a fill-he shoots to the right side about two inches from my belly button!

Mine is at the very top of my stomach in the middle...right under the breast. It is very noticible. The skin is molded right over it, so you can see it clearly. I'm kinda glad because I know that getting fills (starting November 3rd) it won't be hard to find. ;)

Just had mine done last Thursday. My port is not far below my left breast. It seems like a good place because it is below the bra and above any waistbands. Out in the middle of nowhere...

Halfway between belly button and breastbone, four inches to the left of midline. It is palpable, but not visible and doesn't hurt at all. Only a tiny one inch scar.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
