where is my port?

[megsy_81 0]

hey guys - i am 5 days post op and feeling really good! and have lost 3kg since the op itself.

Im a little curious though - can you normally feel your port if you rub your tummy? i haven't come across it yet and i keep having second thoughts if i have really been banded.

Where is everyone else's port? and can you feel it?

Cheers Megsy

Do you have one incision that is big compared to the others? That is where the port is. Mine is on the right side, directly below my breast, below the ribs.

I am about 5 weeks out from surgery right now and can just barely begin to feel the port.

It seems like everyone's port is in different locations.

Mine is just about in the center of my torso, a couple inches (5cm) below my sternum, and slightly left of center.

I have a friend who's port is about an inch above her bellybutton.

Mine is an inch or two below my largest incision. It turns out that the burning/stinging sensation I was feeling below that incision the first 7-10 days after surgery was where the port was stitched in. Much better now!

Mine is in between my ribs in the middle of my chest. Not the usual place for sure :cursing:

Mine is over to the left side of the large incision.

My port is also my largest incision. It's in the middle below my sternum. I cant feel it. Wouldn't even know its their except I had to ask my doctor when I went back for my one week check up!
