Where's your port?



Recommended Posts

I've read a couple of posts that said that their port was located above their hip...

Mine is on mid-upper abdomin just slightly to the left.

Why the different placements? Pros and Cons of each? (It's too late now to move mine! :) Just glad I have it.)

Thanks!

Hi, Mine is on the left bottom of rib cage. Mr Doc told me he doesnt do in it below the breast bone as after weight loss you can sometimes see the port and it doesnt make a nice cleveage!!

I have a sternal port...dead center, just below the bottom of my bra band. It's a comfortable place to be, high enough not to rub on my pants' waistline, the seat belt doesn't aggravate it. Almost -60 pounds and it's still hiding.

I'm one of the hippies -- the port's near my left hipbone. I never feel it 'cause I'm still well-padded there. :)

Mine is about an inch under my breast bone, three inches up from belly button, just to the right of center.

DID I say how happy I am that I have one? Well I am. Wasn't too long ago that I wondered if it would ever happen. Sometimes I just reach down and touch my port and feel so blessed that it really happened.

My little guy is 3 inches under my left ribs. Vicki in Indy, I touch my port and talk to it all the time too, it's my little alien buddy!! I wonder why they are in different spots?

      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.
