Port

Is there a gernal location for where it would be placed? I kind of picked up the habit of holding my stomach, so I want to make sure I quit touching places before I do something to it.

I'm pretty serious when I say I can't wait for the surgeon to show me where it is! haha

Had 5 incisions btw.

The port should be under the largest incision either on the left or right of belly button. I have heard of some rare placements where it is by the breast bone, but the most common is by the belly button.

Pokes my ribs every so often. . I can feel it essyit stick out some , no way to miss mine,

Yes, the port is located where the largest incision is on your belly. Mine is located about 6 inches above my belly button and to the right, below my right breast.

I wondered that too. My largest incision hurts the most

Mine is directly under my breast bone pretty close to the band.

is it the surgeons choice where to put the band, or can you request it to be next to the belly button? or even lower?? can it be seen once you lose the weight and in swimsuits again??

It is usually the surgeon's preference. Pre-op, my surgeon showed me exactly where it would be placed.
