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.
