Hi Tina, mine is on my left hand side just under the waist line. No I can't see it. The only time I can feel it is when I lay down and really try to find it. I have a low profile port if that matters. He has not trouble finding it when I need a fill.

The port is under the skin and mine is slightly right center midriff. At my fills, they have me lay down and they put a pillow inder the small of my back to arch the midriff and that helps them feel the port under the skin.
