Port Question

[headin_to_mxico 0]

Hi,

I was reading threw threads and it sounds like some of yall have your ports in different places. Ex: I heard one person say that her port really bugged her bcause it was by her waist line, then another say that hers was down lower by her bikini line. Also, it kind of sounds like the ports may differ in shape. One girl said hers was like a sqare box, while the picture my doctor gave me, the port seems to look like a circle. I have also heard a person say their port was sutured to their rib cage even. Are there different port sizes, shapes and placing options? :eek:

Port placement varies from person to person. I know people who have the same dr. as I do and we have our ports in different places, similar but different.

As far as ports, I know there is the standard circle shape type and the low profile. These are the only 2 I have heard of, and I have the standard circle type.

I had my first fill today and am barely able to swallow. Will this loosen up? My doctor encouraged me to have this fill even though I already had fairly good restriction. Any suggestions? Madison

From everything I have read and heard Madison you should give it another day maybe two at the most before deciding if it is too restrictive. If you can't keep anything down at all then you should contact your doctor right away.

my port is actually right under my left incision vertical to my belly button. i thought maybe it was just scar tissue until i was laying down with my husband yesterday and he pushed it and it felt like something was poking me from the inside. omg. weirdest feeling ever lol.
