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........

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!)

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 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 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!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
