Where is your port??



Recommended Posts

I keep reading about people's ports being on the right or left side, but mine is smack dab in the middle, between my ribs. Does anyone else have theirs in the middle? :redface:

mine is also smack dab in the middle, an inch or so right under the breast bone.

Mine is to the right a little, between my belly button and my right nipple. If you draw a line between BB and nipple it is 1/3 to BB and 2/3 to nipple.

Are you sure that's where the actual port is and not just the port incision? Mine is about 3 inches under my port incision.

Mine is in the middleish, to the left. If you go straight up about 3 inches from my bellybutton, and then straight left 3 inches, it's right there.

I asked on my first post op visit, I was told it was right under my incision, she pushed down on it and found it.

insicions1small.jpgSo the large incision is my port and it is in the middle left. This is 8 days after. When I press on it I feel it right above my incision, I think where the bruise is? At least that is what it feels like.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
