I just found out yesterday that my port completely flipped over and i will need to have surgery to fix it. My dr wants to to move the location of my port as well. Right now it is on the right side, about an inch above my belly button. I know this location is common. This dr, who did not do my lap band surgery, wants to relocate it to the middle, right below my sternum or below the center of my rib cage. He says its the best location to ensure no flipping. I never heard of a port in this spot and im worried that it will be more noticiable. Does anyone have their port in this location or know of anyone who does?? Please help! Im so nervous!
