Where is your port located?

I did mine in the middle east, and my port is located between my breasts, while my friend did hers in the states and her port is above her belly button..

Where is your port located, and what is the difference??

I was just banded on 9/8 and I think my port is above my bellybutton. That seems to be my biggest incision.

About 2 inches Above and to the right of my belly button, just above my biggest incision.

Mine is 2 inches above my belly button and about an inch to the right of it.

Hi I was banded on 08/19/08 and my port is above my belly button too, and the only thing I can figure (without talking to my surgeon) is the type of band they used. I thought my port would be down on my left side below my belly button, thats where he stated it would be, then I guess when he put it on, it wasn't long enough to go there. I guess some have a shorter tubing than others. Hope this helps

My port is on my left side barely below my ribs. I was banded in Mexico so I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I think where the port is depends on the doc and the band. I have the Realize band.

My port is about an inch above my belly button and an inch to the left. I would say its right above my stomach. I don't no if it makes any difference, where it is located probably just surgeon preference or just how they were trained. I no someone else recently that had their located right on top of the breast bone. He was told that it was because they had a lot of difficulty with the placement.
