Port Locations are not all the same...



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has their port just below their breast bone in the center of their lower chest and upper abdominals? I saw a picture of someone elses port and it was toward the side of their middle abdominal area - kind of made me wonder why mine was where it was. Im not worried but just wondering.

Thanks...:smile2:

Good morning, I have mine there, right under my breast bone. Everyone doesn't have them in the same place. It's ok..

Mine is about 3-4" above my belly button in the center. I was expecting it to be more upper mid section toward the side like in the diagrams, etc.

Hi:

Mine is right where yours is and I've had it for 2 years. I'm glad it is there because I never have clothing bothering it.

I love my band and my new flat tummy!

Mine is off to the left, under my rib cage.

Thank you all so much for your reply, I apologize for taking so long to reply back... Does port location have anything to do with it flipping - I will be working out a lot and in particular I am concerned with doing abs (when its time of course)...

I just had surgery on the 16th and I know my port is still meshing - I think it will be a good spot too - once it heals...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
