My port is placed in the front of my stomach instead of on the side. I never heard of this until it was already done. Is this common at all? Where is YOUR port?

My port is down on the left side which from what I understand is the norm. As long as it is not up near the heart you will be fine is what my Doc told me.Nice to have you I see you were just banded good luck just do as the Doctors tells you and stay on liquid as long as you can this is the best way to loose the weight the fastest........

well mine is on my left side but i had mine place a bit higher then alot of people because i use a insulin pump and i need to rotaite the insulin site every 3 days around my stomach.

Mine's in the middle. Well... more middle than to the side. It's a few inches left and a few inches up from my belly button.

Mines is in the middle of my breasts down about 4 inches just under where my bra line is.

Mine's somewhere between the manufacturer and the doctors office! :heh:

Once it's installed, it will be to the right of center, right below the ribs if I understood correctly. Between the bra line and waistline. That is where DH's is. (not that he usually wears a bra!)

Mines is on my left side about 1 inch to the left and 3 inches up from belly button.

Mine is on the right between the bra line and waist.

Mine seems to be in the middle more about half way between bra line and belly button. If I drew a straight line it would be just slightly left of the midline. At least that's where I think it is. I think I can feel it...lol. Guess I'll know at my first fill!!!

Mine is left side just under the bra line. I can't feel it at all.

Mine is on my right, 3 inches above and 2.5 inches of my belly button. I thought it would interfere with my waistbands, but my doctor said my waist would be getting lower. Imagine that!

Mine is just above and to the right of my belly button. Its also pretty deep, which should make my first fill an adventure.

My port is directly underneath my right breast. I have had two fills so far from my GP who has never done this before and I didn't feel a thing. I didn't even feel the needle going in. He doesn't feel that such a large needle is necessary and used a much smaller one than recommended....he hit it bang on both times and I didn't feel a thing.

Mine is in the middle too, an inch or 2 above my navel.

Mine is below my right breast and about two inches down. Right now, the darn thing is flipped and I have to go for port revision, but this surgery is still worth it!

Mine is in the middle about 2 inches below my bra. My doc told me he put it there because there is less chance of it flipping when you lose a large amount of weight. So far no problems. I can feel mine too if I'm laying on my stomach, but it doesn't hurt.
