What Side Is Your Port On?

I'm curious to know if everyone's port is on the same side. Mine is on the right. I did have leakage from it when I got home last night, the nurse warned me that may happen...as of this morning no leakage which is good.

mine is on my left. I just got banded on March 6th and its still sore in that area but I'm hoping that will go away soon. Each day seems easier

Mine is on my left side. I was banded 2/3/12.

Mine is on my right side. I was banded 12/22/11, and when I went in for my first fill at the beginning of Feb, my port had flipped. So the doctor had to go back in and revise it. Now it is much closer to the surface and I can easily feel it, whereas before, I could not feel it at all.

Mine and my husbands is on the left side we were banded in feb and mar of 2012..

I had SILS so mine is a couple of inches below my belly button.

Mine is on my right side. If I press lightly, I can feel the edge of the port.
