I was banded on 11/13. Problem is, I have no idea where my port is. Is it under an incision?

Reason I ask.... I have been having pain in my right side, when I twist or move and it is excrutiating for about 5 seconds, then goes away. When I press down there, I feel a hard lump somewhat deep down. Is that my port or do I have a hernia?

It is near your largest incision, my incision is just above my belly button and the port is about two inches above and two inches to the right of the incision.

Look for the largest incision and you will locate your port. My port was placed on my left sound above the bell button.

Mine is to the left of my belly button, just above the incision. Yes, the hard lump is probably your port.

I only have 2 small incisions and the port is sort of between and off to the side (incision between boobs and one just at my belly button). It feels like a large creepy tumor.

It is close to your largest incision. Mine is located right between my breast so it doesn't show and can be found easy and couldn't lose it!! :angry_smile: If that bump isn't it, it may be scar tissue. I have hardning under one of my other incisions and it is scar tissue.

      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.
