Where's your port?!

I ask cuz I hear people saying theirs is on their left side, while mine is in the front of my stomach. Is that just doctor discretion? I got mine done in MX, so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it?!

Mine is a little above my belly button and a little to the left. I thought it was going to be further left I don't like it right in front but I guess the line isn't that long.

Mine is right below the middle of my left ribs. I like where its at. I am very aware of where its at, but it doesn't bother me for sleeping even though I am a side/stomach sleeper. Easy for them to find for fills, but does not protrude (at least not yet... maybe after I lose more weight).

Mine is about 1 inch below my xyphoid process, right smack in the middle. I've never heard of any other doctor putting them there but mine.

About three inches below my right rib. I can feel it when I sleep on my right side--not very comfy!
