Mines is in the exact same place. Im almost 2 weeks post op.

is the port where the largest incision is? I'm not sure where mine is but I'm definitely more sore at the large incision.

Mine is above and slightly to the left of my belly button. When I stand up it feels like a tumor on my stomach.

Does it bother you?

Might be because it is healthier to sleep on the right side? I know I know it is silly reason to place port slightly to the left... and there might be a good medical reason to do i it ... maybe something to do with the internal organs 'layout'?

Mine is 1" to the right (when looking at my belly head on) - so on my left side, and 2" down from my navel. Basically at the 4 o'clock position were my navel a clock.

nope I even woke up on my left side must've rolled over during the night and no pain.. That was my biggest fear since I toss and turn all night..

My port is located on the right side between my belly button and side. Right in the middle. Out of the way!!
