Port Placement?

Some other Lap Banders I’ve chatted with in RL tell me that finding a good spot to place the port is key.

Example in-line with the belly button for a woman is bad, (well was bad for her), since the waist line for pants interferes.

I am considering 1 to 2” above the belly button line and 1 to 2“ in front of my floating rib.

It would be great to get some feedback before my surgery. Thank you.

That's about where mine is about two inches up from my belly button and also two inches left of it.

I never wear pants that come above the navel. Most of my jeans etc stop well below the navel, just above the hip bones so I've never had waistbands dig into my port. Before low rise was the fashion, I used to have to buy men's jeans to avoid that zipped up to the armpits look, I always found it so darn uncomfortable.

Hi my port is just of centre to my left and just below the bra line i have had it for 4 weeks now and cant say i have had any problems where it is.
