I was not offered a choice of where my port would be placed. Mine is center midriff area.

So far it has not bothered me ever, except if I lean over the kitchen counter too far, as the counter hits me almost exactly at that spot ( I'm short!).

I wasn't given a choice either. Mine is right about my belly button. The only time it bothers me is leaning over into the washer getting out clothes...just have to remember now!

I did not get to choose mine either. Mine is just below my left breast at the edge of my ribcage. I posted a pic of my incisions on the Scar Stages thread if you wanna see.

About one inch wide over my belly button. I thought it was going under my right breast. Oh well, time will tell if it will bother me. I am 5'8".

My port is about 5" below my right breast. I wasn't given a choice of location. It's right at my waist so the waistband of my pants bothered me for the first few weeks, but it's OK now.

Mine is directly below my breastbone, dead center. Doesn't bother my bra, doesn't bother my waistband.

Mine is above my belly button and slightly to the left about 5 inches. I did not get a choice, and am not thrilled with it being there. I had my band on Christmas eve and still can not wear anything but sweats. I tried to wear Jeans on Sat. and had to take them off after 3 hours. I hurt all day Sunday. My waist is lose in my jeans, so its not because they were to tight. The port incision is right where my waist band rubs. I wish I could have requested where it is placed.
