Wow, unfortunately I could tell you exactly where mine is the second I woke up in recovery! It is the only place I had pain, and still do if I do certain things. It is much better than it was the first week or two, which I am grateful for.

I know they generally prefer to place them on the left, unless there is an issue with space.

Mine is under my biggest incision, right above my belly button, pretty much dead centre.

Yeah, mine had a much bigger incision.

mine is on the right side just off center it just below a 2 in incision maybe its differant for each doctor or the size of the band mine is a 10 cc band 4 cc fill at surgery day 2 fills since 1 cc each. 6 cc workw very well.
