Port on the Right hand side????

POWERWING · September 22, 2003

Hi guys, does anyone have their port on the right hand side?

My port is just to the left of my belly button.

My port is on the right side. It is located next to my rib cage.

My port is about 3 inches above my waist and then 3 inches to the left. My fill doctor (he did not do the surgery) was surprised, he'd never seen a port on the left side! But from what I have seen, a lot of people have theirs on the left side.

My port is anchored just under the sternum in the middle of my chest. So far it's only interfered with one bra (which was getting a little big anyway!

Mine's on the right, just a peck below my ribcage. I can't compare it to having it anywhere else, but I like that I never bump stuff against it or notice it unless I'm looking for it. I like the location.

Mine is directily above my belly button and is deep. I can only feel it when I am lying down. I am happy with the placement because when I lose more weight it will not stick out. I have seen some who's stick out like a horn.

All of the literature I have seen mentions the LEFT side. I am a bit surprised by the folks who have it on the right. To those of you who have had your port installed on the right hand side - is that also the side of your biggest lapband incision? I would think they would put the port near the largest incision (as was done with mine)...
